For example, getTable("/").putNumber("foo/bar", 5) and getTable("/foo").putNumber("bar", 5) are exactly equivalent (both set the key "/foo/bar" to 5).

Peter, thanks for the additional information. That's a bit different than Oracle database tables, which is what I'm used to. Makes sense, though. And seems easy enough to work with now that I've had my misconceptions cleared up.
