Yep, for years my bias has been trending to the relational method of modeling data rather than the object oriented way.
The relational model is more flexible -- you can slice data up in any number of ways, rather than through a fixed hierarchy.
The relational model was developed by Date/Codd to address the needless complexity and brittle nature applications built around network or hierarchical databases of the 60s/70s, which are in many ways analogous to today's OO relationships.
