[fdo-internals] FDO RFC 7 - Add New Methods to FdoClassDefinition

[Jason Birch]

I don't think that I'm in favour of this RFC at first glance.

My main reason for this is that it requires the client to have special
knowledge about what IsViewBased means for each individual provider.
For instance, while Oracle allows updates to data in views in some
cases, PostgreSQL does not.  This makes FDO less pluggable, and defeats
the purpose of a common API.  It's the same reason I have a problem with
the non-standard query API for SDF; it requires special per-provider
logic on the client side.

I would personally prefer to see specific properties of the class that
reveal the information that IsViewBased is going to be used by the
client to obtain.
