A number of people have done different kinds of work connecting CLOS to
a persistent database.  At Symbolics they developed Statice, and OODB
with a CLOS language binding.  (Actually, at the time it was done, the
binding was to New Flavors.)

At HP Labs, Andreas Paepcke has done a lot of work looking at what it
takes for a Metaobject Protocol to provide a foundation for connection
CLOS to an persistent database.  I believe he has papers in the last two
year's OOPSLA conference proceedings.
