[comp.lang.c++] Persistent Objects

(Apologizes if this has been asked before, I just joined the net)

Where is the best place to look for some previous experience dealing
with persistent objects and such in c++?

We are developing an object manager here, and there seem to be so many
implementation options that I was curious to see what other people have
done with issues such as:

	- persistent objects (placed on some mass storage medium)
	- object relationships (queries, concurrency, integrity)
	- allocation and deallocation (memory pool classes, garbage collection)
	- networked objects (sending messages to objects on different machines)
	- object versions (when the class definition changes)

I am most interested in c++ implementation of persistent objects.

In May/June JOOP, Unland and Schlageter presented issues such as
these and a language that addressed them.  Can we get by without a
language to do this and just invent classes to do the work?

I have a friend who does not have access to this group so this is a
posting for him.  Here is his message:

"Does anyone have a good definition for persistent objects?  I know
what they are but need a formal definition that is all inclusive if
possible."

Please send replies directly to him at:

                     rustw@byuvax  or  rustw@yvax.byu.edu

Thanks.
