If you can - could you elaborate some more on DB interaction from Clojure. For example I dont completely understand There are no SQL/Relational DB ORMs for Clojure for obvious reasons. I particularly also ask this, because most Clojure web tutorials are written with GAE or NOSQL in mind.

The obvious reason for no Object/Relational Mappers in Clojure is that while Clojure has objects available, it doesn't orient around them. It makes much more sense to treat a set of records from the DB as a sequence of maps.

For DBs and Clojure in general I can only speak about CouchDB via Clutch and SQL via ClojureQL and clojure.contrib.SQL. I don't want to claim to be an expert in either of these technologies, but if you have some more specific questions i'm happy to do my best to answer them. you might find some answers about couch in an older post of mine http://brehaut.net/blog/2010/couch_impedance
