Yes, it's not a relational database, but in practice all this means is that you can not make joins (I think). You can still query a single table for various properties, order the result, and iterate over them. There are one-to-many and many-to-many relationships too. So it seems to me that a good portion of sqlobject is applicable but of course certain parts will have no meaning (like joins). I've already signed up for an account but haven't heard back from them yet.
