Hmm...  Do you have any idea how long this would take?  This is one 
feature I'm in desparate need of...

BTW, how do people handle subclasses at the moment?  I've a base class 
that has very few properties, and many subclasses that add a lot of 
additional information.  I cannot keep all that data in the same table, 
and don't really want to denormalize my tables.

Thanks,
