Comment (by CodeBard):

 Writing a forum plugin, i don't want to store tens of thousands of posts
 in wp's posts table and their metas in the postmeta. Leaving aside the
 incurred bloat, searching for multiple criteria from among meta becomes a
 nightmare. This is an intrinsic problem of EAV table structure, and until
 that fundamental concept is solved either through WP or through SQL
 enhancements, that problem is here to stay with us.

 So my situation is, i want to use custom post types, but with my own
 tables which will be strictly relational and flat, but with the intention
 of using WP post functions. So far, there doesn't seem to be a way. While
 researching i got to this topic, this wasnt of help either.
