I would appreciate any and all input on this topic. This is a hot topic in our shop right now. I would be very interested in hearing if anyone who has employee an Object Oriented database has experienced a noticable degradation in data quality.

What issues do you believe we should be considering when looking at object oriented design -vs- a normalized, relational design? For instance, my concerns are that OO has an adverse impact on data quality *and* performance.

Other opinions, experiences,and advice are appreciated!!!

Thanks!
