Persistent Object Store

What is a PersistentObjectStore?

My guess is that it's the same as an ObjectStore (in the generic sense, not referring to the ObjectStore product). It would be the subset of functionality of an ObjectOrientedDatabase that is concerned with storing objects outside of the address space of the process that is creating and/or using the objects. -- JosephDale

RScheme's "persistent object store module," located in rs.db.rstore, maps files into virtual memory, and does tricks with pointers, to present an object-oriented virtual memory model for persistent objects, in LISP.
