Good code is code which meets the needs of the application and doesn't crash. [...]
Being written is a prerequisite for these.
Good. For now we need to just assume we have a RDBMS until the point when we have the design done.
Is an RDBMS appropriate, or should we just assume an OO backing store?

This is cos you probalby have no formal training in systems analysis. once you try and use them they will become second nature, have a look at the book "UML in a nutshell" it explains it all, I was like you I ignored it all untill I understood how it would all work, I now will try and use UML for my software to improve it.
Critisie my scheme or my methods?

No its not, being written well is the prerequisite.
true, but the principles are the same, they all boil down to designing a relationa scheme which then needs to be normalised, and as relational theory is based on set theory as is OO theory the design is applicable to both, hence my keeping animplementation independent view of things.
