Is there drop-in replacement for ActiveRecord that uses some sort of Object Store?

I am thinking something like Erlang’s MNesia would be ideal.

Update

I’ve been investigating CouchDB and I think this is the option I am going to go with. It’s a toss-up between using CouchRest and ActiveCouch. CouchRest is pretty mature, and is used in the CouchDB peepcode episode, but it’s not a drop-in replacement for ActiveRecord, which is a bit of a disadvantage.

Suffice to say CouchDB is pretty phenomenal.

Update (November 10, 2009)

CouchDB hasn’t really worked for me. CouchDB doesn’t really support arbitrary queries (queries need to be written and compiled ahead of time). It also breaks on very large datasets.

I have been playing with MongoDB and it’s really incredible. Schema-less JSON data store with queries and indexing.

I’ve even started building a management tool for it called Ming.

  1. AciveCouch purports to be just such a library for CouchDB, which is, in fact, written in Erlang. I wouldn’t say it’s as mature as ActiveRecord though.

    That is the closest thing I know of to what you’re asking for.
