I'll add just one comment:

I use a simple criteria: The persistence mechanism dictates what type of system you have, object or relational.

If you use a RDBMS then you have a relational system, even if you use Smalltalk, Java, C++ over the top.
If you use a pure OODBMS, then you have an OO system.

No doubt there are always reasons for choosing any approach and I am not passing judgement. In the end the approach chosen will have advantages and disadvantages.
