How about OODMS's?

How about OODMS's?

Parent article: A look at PostgreSQL

The limited exposure I've had to PostgreSQL indicates that it is indeed a high quality product. I've a slightly off topic request, though. How about an article covering some of the non-proprietary object oriented database engines? OODBMS's can be very useful, particularly (in my opinion) in avoiding extremely complicated relational schemas. I have extensive experience with Konstantin Knizhnik's Generic Object Oriented Database System (GOODS) and am impressed with the quality of his work. GOODS isn't everything I want it to be, but it is a viable database engine alternative. There are other OODBMS's as well, but I don't have much experience with them. I've seen very little coverage anywhere about any of them, and an article covering their capabilities sounds like a good idea.
