What about the security implications? Is the J2EE server enough to
control access to the DB?

Java does not allow for buffer overruns and such hacking venues, but
what would happen if a hacker somehow gains access to the data
directly, bypassing the J2EE server?

The thing is that for performance reasons I could not nicely model
highly hierarchical data objects using SQL tables, so I have to come
up with complicated data structures that I serialize and keep in
fields as BLOBs

And yes, I know, my approach was very roundabout ;-) I was trying to
fancy a hacker-proof scenario and it would all be based on scripts

I think SCSI disks even have a switch to -physically- avoid writing
to them. I'd wish I could use such features in regular SATA disks. I
definitely trust Physics
