This answer does not really answer your question.  But have you looked a
dabo (www.dabodev.com).  It doesn't support the web (yet) but you said
that's in the furture.  Dabo was built for this type of app.  Dabo supports
Postgres,MsSQL,MySQL,Firebird, and SQLite.  Non of the DB's are what I'd
call an object database but is that a real requirement?  BTW the first 4
DB's can support 1GB and more.
