I had extensive experience w/ Object Design's ObjectStore a year ago. As a
OO developer, I felt OODBMS is wonder and natural to use. However, also as
a hardcore performance and scalability engineer, I felt let down by what it
delivered.
As many have already said, inertia and politics play a big role in why
OODBMS never really took off. Technically there's no excuse why we still
have to mess around with archaic RDBMS, object-mapping, JDBC, etc, but the
bottom line is companies like Oracle are 800 lb gorillas that just won't
budge!

Has anyone really been able to scale an OODBMS?
