We at IBBC-TNO are investigating what benefits/penalties might be expected from
the use of object-oriented DBMS's. I know of the existance of several products
in the US (Vbase, Ontos, GemStone, Gbase, IRIS, Postgres, ...).
I studied some material of Vbase and Postgres and they look very promising.
Does anyone have any pointers-to/comments-on/experience-with (these)
object-oriented DBMS products?

Currently, to get some experience, we are building a very simple system
in 'C'. In order to gather some momentum in this project any comments
or suggestions are welcome.
