serialisation db4o

Hi,


I'm reading up on serialising objects, and came across links to db4o, an
object oriented database.

Can anyone point out articles/blogs comparing PHP's serialisation process
and storing objects in an OODB. Is anything going on in PHP's biosphere
relating to OODB, possibly through PDO ?

And technically, can we use serialise() to make a structured/nested object
persistent across pages ?


thx

Ward

Sorry, got no pointers for you there.

It can be, with some caveats:
1. You cannot serialize resources (db-connections, file-handles and the
like).
2. Some references will be lost.
3. See for serializing
objects:
