I don't know if you'd label it 'elegant', but as far as I'm concerned, storing serialized objects as blobs in a relational database is mostly non-sense. If I use a relational database, it's because it is a *relational* database. If you want an OODB, then we have the ZODB, Durus and a couple others.
It is sometimes convenient to store objects in mature relational database backend (reliability, stability, support, tools,
replication, etc.). See latst efforts with RelStorage backend for ZODB (http://wiki.zope.org/ZODB/RelStorage) - it stores pickled Python objects in Oracle, PostgreSQL or MySQL) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
