And I'm using gemstone :)

All of the persistence solutions have specialities that make them useful. Be it

- GOODS that is supposed to be language neutral. You can share your objects between smalltalk and java e.g.
- Magma is smalltalk only but full-featured OODB that is easy to set up and it is quite powerful. For server deployment I can't say. It is that Chris always states that you can achieve decent performance but other people always complain about its performance
- CouchDB/document databases. Is also kind of language neutral. When "just persist and query" is your main concern (which is it most of the time) than CouchDB might be a good choice. With this you can access your objects from either the server or from the client using javascript. Should be fairly ease to do
- gemstone if you consider persistence as just a necessity because your memory is not persisted by default and it is too small to keep everything. Or in other words if you just want to care about _your_ problems and not the problem of the persistence ;)
- SQL to integrate legacy application or to feature a business problem that is relational in its nature which OO problems are not per se
- XMLDB if your problem domain is not only about document but about XML documents and X**** search capabilties.

And there a lot more that are combinations of any of the above etc.
