A relational model is also an obstacle to the building of
a distributed non-standard multiple interface multiple dispatch
nightmare :-)
As Ole-Hjalmar has explained, a relational database is middle
ground, you have something standardised with wich others
can work, too.
Imagine IDL and proxies as an alternative. Data exists, but which
part of the ORBA application takes care maintaining its existence?

Incidentally, SETL2, a set language, is said to have a tranparent
database backend (proprietary), so data exists. Also between program
runs.
