My idea was to create something that uses only the information stered
on the DB. I think it would be useful to have such a tool, even if
there's not as much information as you have on a relational DB
regarding to the semantics. It would work more like a debugging tool.

It seems the existing zodbbrowser does exactly this. Unfortunately I
haven't the time to give it a try yet.
