Vagif, you are right in pointing out the maturity of some OODB products, I am not claiming one is superior over another. My claim extends to all established, state-of-the-art database products (relational, or non-relational) that are extremely capable of handling a large majority of popular use cases. Each need will have it’s own ideal data model (RDBMS, Native XML DB, OODBs…), and it is important to not forget these well-developed solutions amidst the hype of these new ideas that are just starting out, and are hence extremely primitive in many, many ways.
