It is sometimes convenient to store objects in mature relational 
database backend (reliability,  stability, support, tools,
replication, etc.). See latst efforts with RelStorage backend
for ZODB (http://wiki.zope.org/ZODB/RelStorage) - it stores
pickled Python objects in Oracle, PostgreSQL or MySQL)
