Hugo,

It does seem that dynamic SP would share the same characteristics as dynamic SPT, in which case you'd have to ask "why are you doing this?" (And I suppose you might expect an answer like "because SP is always best") ;-)

Re RVs: they're not better than SP or SPT, they're just a different approach, with different advantages and disadvantages. I don't think I'd consider a RV for the example in this thread- unless it has to work on multiple backends, in which case a caching/munging tier might be the way to go, using plain SPT or gendbc to convert between databases. The arguments to which you refer tended to be the opposite direction- generally "SP is always best" or "RVs don't scale/are insecure" etc etc.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
