Sorry, I haven't got any particular URLs. It's just my impression I've 
got from discussions with other people. I've rarely heard success 
stories about OODBMS although I think it's an interesting technology. 
Sometimes it seems to me that using an RDBMS with ORM on top is the 
natural choice and I'm wondering why. It makes perfect sense, as I said 
in my original post, if you have a legacy database and migrating it to 
an OODBMS is not an option. But what about those many projects where no 
legacy is involved?

If you have experiences with OODBMS I'd be very interested to hear 
about it. I didn't mean to make a case against this technology but I 
wanted to hear different opinions on the subject.

Cheers,
Andreas
