I've just found the following snippet in todays db4o (www.db4o.com) newsletter:
OMG Leaning towards the LINQ Way to a OODBMS Standard * Not having a standard query language for object databases has been a stumbling block for OODBMS adoption. * The OMG is working on creating such a standard (see the OMG activities <http://developer.db4o.com/r.ashx?3&pnr=00Q3000000C1zcYEAR> ). * In the last meeting in Ottawa in June, the committee has viewed LINQ (on .NET) as the way to go for the standard. * LINQ is a Native Queries <http://developer.db4o.com/Resources/view.aspx/Reference/Object_Lifecycle/Qu erying/Native_Queries?pnr=00Q3000000C1zcYEAR> approach combining Relational and Object Database Queries into a unified native interface, which has been accepted very enthusiastically by the community. * db4o is full heartedly supporting this direction, and has been first to release an optimized provider for LINQ <http://developer.db4o.com/Resources/view.aspx/Reference/Object_Lifecycle/Qu erying/LINQ?pnr=00Q3000000C1zcYEAR> . * We would like to hear your opinion on the LINQ for Java group <http://developer.db4o.com/r.ashx?2&pnr=00Q3000000C1zcYEAR> . I think this is a very important milestone.
