asking about object databases and active record

why is it that mysql a relational database is the preferred database
among rubyists and not an object orientated database (even a free object
orientated database)?

what is the important missing piece... i mean if you are using a object
orientated
programming language (and active record) why not the same for a database
system (to be consistent)? ...isn't simplier?

Austin Ziegler addressed this quite well in a post on 2/16/07 in a
thread titled "object databases in Ruby?".
