O'Reilly Net: Flawed JDO Points the Way to the "Objectbase". Has some good examples using Oracle’s object-relational mapping features. "We need to move our thinking and our problem domain object models into an object persistence layer: an objectbase."
"To some, an objectbase is a place where you store and retrieve binary executables that can be accessed as needed anywhere at any time. Computers and networks will be extremely different than they are today when that definition of an objectbase is fulfilled. I, just like you, need a solution now. And that solution currently exists in the form of object-relational (OR) technology."
Hmmm. I thought ZODB is an existing objectbase solution. In any case, I think it is pretty straight forward to map Zope objects to Oracle (as a backup atleast) using Oracle’s OR features, as long as people don’t go along adding their own properties to individual instances of Zope objects (remember, ZODB is not ACID compliant because it does not enforce the C).
