LINQ interface Now Supports db4o

Are you a programmer or a DBA? You probably are aware of the problems converting data from your database into objects. That has always been a problem with databases. That is why Hibernate was invented. Hibernate is used to map your database into objects within your code. Well now there is an open source object database called db4o. This database is native to Java and the .Net framework. What you should be aware of is that Linq has just been released for the main .Net repository. Linq is a set of extensions to the .Net framework that encompass language-integrated query, set and transform operations. It is pretty easy to enable Linq with db4o. All you need to do is reference the Db4objects.Db4o.Linq.dll file in your project and import the Db4objects.Db4o.Linq namespace. After you do that, you should be able to reference your data objects from your code. I think that this is great news for the developer world. It is always good news to have an easier way to related your objects to your database. So what are you waiting for? You should checkout how Linq along with db4o can help you with your projects.
