Gustave,

Thanks for posting this interesting article. One point that really interested me was this quote:

Choosing a pure object database or an object-relational system "depends on what kind of applications you want to build," said Dan Fishman, chief architect and chief technical officer at Informix. "For pure object-oriented applications, an object-oriented database is best. For these [applications], you need persistence support; you [therefore] want very rich structures and more navigation capabilities. But if you want to extend existing applications, the object-relational database will do."

This only lacks the phrase "legacy system": the idea is certainly there. It is really interesting to see a relational vendor saying that a pure ODBMS would be the first coice for new object-oriented development. I have always believed this, but I thought the RDBMS and ORDBMS vendors would not admit it.
