What are the best scenarios for using object-oriented databases?

Question

We are planning to use OO databases to store configuration objects. The options are:

 1 - Create 300+ relational tables.

 2 - Create a generic structure with few tables. We think this would 
make object relation mapping more complex to build and maintain.

 3 - Use a OO database. We are testing this now.

What do you think ?

Answer 2

Read mostly (or single user); simple relations; constrained object graph depth; constraint management non-requirement; and relaxed object identity use cases favor the oo db.
