If you are evaluating alternative solutions, you might also look
into Django models. There have been some very positive comments
about Django on this list. And, Django models can be used outside
of the Django Web applications. Also, Django models are reasonably
object oriented. A Django model/DB can sit on top of several
different relational database engines, for example, PostgreSQL, MySQL,
sqlite3, etc.
