Hi!

There’s a project for porting db4o (it’s an open source object  
database) to Ruby called db4ro ([http://developer.db4o.com/](http://developer.db4o.com/)  
ProjectSpaces/view.aspx/Tools\_And\_Add-Ons/  
Language\_Bindings\_or\_Implementations). I wonder whether this could be  
a nice addition to Rails or ActiveRecord is more than enough.  
What do you think? Has anyone tried db4o?

Best regards and thanks for your input.
