If you wrap your dets calls with an access module, you
can for example add a second dets file which uses another
attribute as the key. You can make this a bag table.

One thing you need to do when updating an object, is to retrieve
the old index keys using the old object key, delete them and
storing new keys (you can of course calculate which keys need
to be deleted/added).

That way, you can make your own index.
