Hi Monks!

I'm writing a script at the moment which takes a couple of data structures and builds some objects from them. The data structures are setup information for a database and data to be input into that database respectively

My question is do i make a decision on the data before choosing to bless each set of data as a particular class?

Or am i better off blessing the objects as a parent class regardless, and then deciding which "subclass" the objects belong to and reclassifying them?

Even if i choose the first route, i think i'm going to have to change the class of the data objects eventually. so what's the best way to go about it? I know i could just "bless" the object again with a different class but it feels a bit funky!

Any help appreciated as always!
