John, CACHE Technique or what they call Object Database was really something that has existed for several years. Read up on Multi-Value Database. MVDB's boasts Objects but its really a bunch of nested List Parsing --> Very Very Inefficient.
We actually use one of those Legacy Object Type Databases - UNIVERSE Originally built by Informix and IBM bought it recently.. have you ever heard of PICK? Oracle & DB2 have implemented Nested Tables/Object Relational Tables that lets you store data in more of a Straight Forward OOP Concept. Again... If you want to store data in an Relational-Object Hierachies.. Go for it.. USE XML Or a DB capable of doing XML right... take it one step further.. XPATH/XQueries and XSLT will give all you need to transform your DB to a HTML display generation engine.
