Hmm.  Tough question.  I'm convinced that there is nothing in the
Relational world that can't be achieved in an OODB with the exception of
language independence.  But I like Python and am not troubled by the
limitation of having to program exclusively in Python.  So I would just
be extremely skeptical of any claims against OODBs based on theoretical
issues.  It is certainly true that a lot of specific OODB products are
limited, but Schevo is proof of what can be done with a decent language
(Python), a decent storage engine (Durus) and a good deal of cleverness.
