Re^2: DB persistence framework for Perl Classes

[gmpassos]

I can be wrong, but Hibernate is for Java, not?

And don't forget that in Java you need to do by hand your serialization of attributes. Only for J2SE 5 we have a new project called JDO that make things more automatic, and it will replace JDBC.

Not quite: JDO (Java Data Objects) is also available for J2SE 1.4 (and below perhaps). Furthermore, JDO is not intended as a replacement for JDBC! It is simply a persistent object store framework, mainly aimed at storing business objects. It therefore cannot (and will not) replace JDBC (which is just a means to hereogenously connect to different databases).
