"I'll start with the underlying assumption that an RDBMS must, by definition, have a "relational data model". This is not the case."

Hmmm... right... in that case... if your database is simply a glorified key-value pair dump, then, yes, it doesn't really matter how you access your RDBMS as you are most likely not using any of its functionalities. But then again, why bother with a RDBMS to start with then?
