[Novalug] Enterprise Linux: OO Databases w/GPL license

Interesting discussion, no clear direction, here are some thoughts.

New on the SEI website (Jan 10, 2006 is date) there is a software technology roadmap that might be informative.
http://www.sei.cmu.edu/str/descriptions/oodatabase.html

Discussion
includes purpose, technical details, and usage considerations. There is
an assertion that this technology is mature. What is most interesting
to me is the technical references, the most recent of which is from
1996. I'm not sure that is so much a roadmap as a historical overview
;-)

Zope is not an OO language.  Databases are successful because they are
based on mathematical principles.  OO does not map over.  This is why
you have so many "frameworks" to do that for you, and those often fail
to achieve the same simplicity for access.  I would argue that NO
programming language today is capable of doing this.
