Hello,
	I have done much research on object / relational mapping patterns. After all 
that effort to get a clean object design, it just feels like I'm wasting my 
energy. I end up reverting to some hybrid relational model.
I understand the concept of multiple threads, and the mutex class.
I have only experimented with a few examples of using Mnemonic.
How can I avoid using a relational database when Ruby is concerned?
Cheers, Oliver.
