How transparent is this going to be?  Am I going to need to specify that a
table needs to be 'chainable', or is it just going to do it when I create
tables that can have records containing >8k of data?  I have several databases
that I would like to move over to a postgres backend from 4th Dimension, but
many tables have the potential of creating tuples greater than 8k.

Thanks,
Nick
