(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?
