I work with objectstore nearly everyday and wish we were using oracle or db2. I am firmly convinced that you better have a damn good reason (like a big heavily updated graph structure) to forgo the discipline of a normalized relational schema.
Use objects in memory. I'm just saying the relational <-> object mapping is a necessary evil because in the long run with complex data you'll suffer for your sin of skipping normalization.

If you can't do it with objects, what structure do you use in-memory?
