[storm] Dynamically changing OR mapping question with aliases

[akira]

Ok, I´ll explain again :-) I have to develop a multilingual site, all 
the content and link are coming from tables that I have separated by 
language into schemas
example:

en.content # table for English content
de.content # table for German content

so depending on what the user chooses, the right database would be 
chosen and consecutively the right data would be displayed, I just do:

Link.__storm_table__ = session.userlang

Then I can make queries on the database

was that clear?
