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. -- Patrick K.
