Sorry, but I really don't understand what you did about this "multitable 
fields" thing and it is really necessary. 

I thought that the old db component was already able to access these fields by 
using rData["Table.Field"].

What's the point exactly ?

Another point: I'd like to make changes in the DB component to remove as much 
as possible the pseudo-collections like Database.User... to replace them with 
true collections (Database.Users), so that things are easier to use. The only 
pseudo-collection I want to keep is Result.

I'd like to make a better interface for users and authorisations too, by 
allowing it to embrace the very different possibilites of MySQL and 
PostgreSQL: users have different authorisations, and these authorisations can 
differ between the connection location (localhost, ...).

What do you think about that ? I'm not sure this is a good idea to do that 
before 1.0, but I find the current interface a bit weird.
