Panorama X - Better than Claris?

rkaplan recommended I check out Panorama in another thread, and I did this weekend. This is pretty close to the tables I wish could exist in DT (surprised there is almost nothing on the web about integrating the two.) I love the focus this developer is bringing here.

The relational support seems laborious and perhaps an afterthought, though. Is the auxiliary database system and those manually described joins the only way to use that? Can some of the automation be used to speed up common joins and spin up small aux tables? Just wondering what’s out there.
