Actually there is the ODMG standard, which defines a query language (OQL)
and mappings to common OO languages, but its not fully implemented anywhere
I know of. Same goes for SQL, mind you. SQL-99 actually seems to pull in
most of the features of OQL, but then it also pulls in the kitchen sink and
a flock of chickens, so thats no surprise.
