There's a pretty good (if also vitriolic) explanation of why OODBMS  
are no good:

By Fabian Pascal: http://www.dbazine.com/ofinterest/oi-articles/pascal3
By Chris Date: http://www.dbdebunk.com/page/page/622527.htm

Lots more on this page:

Pascal and Date are among the masters of relational theory, so they  
will necessarily write against OODBMS because they attempts to extend  
the relational model for data.  Some of it is high theory, so break  
out your relational algebra vocabulary.
