Storing pickled python objects is fine as long as you don't care about relational data. But if you aren't careful, data integrity will probably suffer over time as the complexity of your application increases. And that is not good. Anyway I'm sure a lot of people here know this stuff already. Just do your research and make sure the route you go makes sense for your application and your scaling requirements.
