And it is not relational, unfortunately.

It is not, but in SQL DBMS it is.

OODBMS is a return to the Network DBMS with some OO features. A
backward step and a resounding market failure in the 90's.

The market share of OODBMS is in continuous decrease.

It could be enough for what you want.

But it is very easy to create your own serialization classes. .NET
serialization is also terribly ineficient with disk space even if you
use the binary format.

It could be useful for some very special circumstances while we wait
for a truly RDBMS.

Not yet :(
