Seconding this.

One thing though: last time I did that, I ended up writing my own ORM/serialization library (with templates and all), but I wish I didn't have to.

Is there anything freely available out there that would allow one to store object hierarchies with the ease of boost::serialization, but into an SQLite EAV scheme?

I always trace rather than log. That means I have one table per ‘tracing function’, and just record the arguments to each table. Recording an object means recording the function calls that generated the object; regenerating the object is just playing those functions back. I’ll admit that this works far better in C than C++, as C++ tends to treat new types as opaque primitives.
