I suspect that the SQL object store will have the smallest number of issues
- at the end of the day the data is in tables, all that is changing is the
in-memory representation.

Where there could be bigger issues is with the xml object store and the
nosql object store, because there we take generate a string representation
of the Oid and write out to disk.  But thinking it through, I suspect we
could write some reasonably simple code that would understand these
"legacy" on-disk formats and do an update on-the-fly as they need to.

Let me know if you think of anything else I should be aware of, though.

Cheers
Dan
