The name of the technology is DB4O, and information on it may be found here:
http://www.mono-project.com/DB4O
The organization that maintains DB4O is:
http://www.db4o.com/?src=Mono
At the first link, there is a C# example of working with databases and DB4O, as follows:
using System;
using Db4objects.Db4o;
public class Test {
static string _file = "store.db4o";
// A very basic db4o example that demonstrates
// automatic schema generation and Query-By-Example
public static void Main (string [] args)
{
using (IObjectContainer db = Db4oFactory.OpenFile (_file)) {
db.Set (new Pilot ("Michael Schumacher", 101));
db.Set (new Pilot ("Rubens Barrichello", 99));
db.Commit ();
IObjectSet pilots = db.Get (new Pilot(null, 101));
foreach (Pilot p in pilots) {
Console.WriteLine (p);
}
}
}
}
public class Pilot {
string _name;
int _points;
public Pilot (string name, int points)
{
_name = name;
_points = points;
}
public override string ToString ()
{
return _name + "/" + _points;
}
}
Another option, based on LINQ, can be found at: http://siaqodb.com/
Siaqodb appears to be very interesting too, another option for avoiding direct SQL management.
Enjoy it!
