Sounds cool. You may want to have a look at 'Storm', which I just  
released yesterday, and built on XOTcl. The idea is to have virtually  
transparent queryable object storage. Ie. object loading and storing  
is done automatically, as needed. While the version I put up is very  
early, and does not do a lot of things optimally, it still might be  
useful to just take a look at. Oh and it also does not even try to  
look like an RDBMS (the object-relational mismatch is often a source  
for headaches, especially with small projects). So not really what you  
are trying to do, but it does work for what it is.
