Frankly, this has no value anywhere. If I read another article that 
praises OODBs or XMLDBs, I'm going to puke. They have their purposes, 
certainly, but they have severe limitations to what they can do. As 
an example, I'm currently maintaining a package called Bug Traction 
(http://www.halostatue.ca/Corporate/products/bugtraction.html) which 
could not be done in a sane manner if it were using an OODB or XMLDB, 
because it's all about relationships between the data -- and OODBs 
and XMLDBs are strongly hierarchical in nature. If you get your 
hierarchy wrong, you're screwed.

I'm going to be looking at taking Bug Traction from Perl to Ruby (at 
some point), and maybe even implementing a Ruby version of My Little 
DB (hey, there's a PHP version of the server -- why not a Ruby 
version?) as an option for storage for folks who don't want to use 
mySQL or something similar.

But I find that it's next to impossible to query intelligently in 
either an XMLDB or OODB without intimately knowing the structure and 
how it fits in the hierarchy -- and you cannot get useful information 
out of it without that. Granted, you still have to know the structure 
with an RDB, but you can get useful information without knowing all 
of the relationships that the programs place on them.

Have I mentioned that I hate the hype surrounding these things? Bah. 
Hierarchical databases serve a purpose -- LDAP shows that -- but it's 
a narrow purpose. (Of course, I'm also of the opinion that RDBs are 
overused when flat files would do the job as well and safely, and 
faster to boot for some applications. Not EVERYTHING needs full 
transactional support and relationship management capabilities.)
