I've used ObjectStore and it is a huge pain in the ass. It works
decently if you have to do a lot of data-massaging before anything
else sees the data, but such is not the case for this project. Also,
changing the type of objects (i.e. the DTD/Schema) is so much of pain
that re-creating the entire database is usually much, much easier; not
a good solution in this case.

Doesn't Apache handle such things?
