If you want a real ODBMS then you need to look at the following
commercial vendors: Versant, Progress and Poet.
....... and GemStone of course

Hi Bob,

Don't know when the last time was that you looked at the various OODB
vendor products, but just thought I would set the record straight.
Versant has always had a server side query execution capability with
full indexing ( hash, b-tree, unique ). In fact, you can even get
ODBC drivers if you really want to bastardize your use of an object
database and access Versant through such reporting tools as Crystal
Reports and the like.
What I meant is that Versant does not support commonly used
query language, SQL for most developers, in the server side.
Supporting b-tree, hash, etc is just an underlying technology.
Versant ODBC does not execute in the server, so it could lead
to a horrible performance.
In my opinion, standard query language support is the first
thing any DBMS needs to achieve. Unfortunately many ODBMS vendors
didn't pay attention to it. Only two commercial ODBMS
support SQL in the server side, Cache and Matisse.

In terms of scalability, you would have to explain from which
perspective you are discussing the term because it is so often
cluttered in it's use. From a size perspective, Versant is handling
+5T XML data for Dow Jones and Reuters. From a concurrency
perspective, Versant is handling in excess of 3,000 simultaneous
active connections for Sprint. In terms of throughput, Versant is
handling in excess of 25,000 tx/sec for the American Stock Exchange.
The data you've shown does not tell anything about scalability.
Each data is a number at one measuring point.

Bob
