MMBase has in general a good fit with our requirements. We selected it
from a list of 7 Open Source CMS packages. I cannot imagine that mmbase
puts such tight restrictions on the database structure, that foreign
keys on non-integer fields are (or can) not (be) supported. And that
this can not be solved within a reasonable effort. Furthermore, I think
that a more profound support of foreign keys by mmbase would make this
product interesting for a wider audience and would make migration from
another CMS to mmbase easier (In our case, we are migrating our current
CMS plus disclosing information from a separate 'client/server'-type
application in the migrated CMS system).
I am a Java Developer and I don't want to give up so soon and report
back that our careful package selection was not careful enough (just yet).
Best regards,
Dave

Maybe using MMBase for this is not the best solution.
You might want to look into other otions. ORM tools like Hibernate or JDO are better suited for mapping objects to existing databaseschema's and have nice query languages too.
(Others on this list will probably disagree :-)

L.S.
I am new to mmbase and am assigned the task to disclose existing
information from a MySQL-database to the web using mmbase. Tables are
related using foreign keys and the database is normalized. Since the
database is also used for another application, I have little freedom to
adjust the database structure.
