 jbravo in  Programando... describes an article in  programacion.com on  db4o (was an expensive proprietary product, but now open source). One of the most important problems to resolve in java applications is how to make the objects persistent. The main solutions to this problem are frameworks like  Hibernate or  Ibatis or technologies like  JDO . Another approach is to convert the objects into a relational database structure and store the data in a relational database like  SQLlite. Now a third option, direct storage of objects in a object database,  is available in  db4o that is small and requires very low maintenance and can be embedded in an application without significant overhead.

In the backroom, Enrique Barbeito García, author of Ebarbeito presents his bio:

My name is Enrique Barbeito García and I am currently studying a course on the development of applications. I was born and live in Alicante, Spain. For some years I have been interested in computing, currently not professionally, and I hope to continue for the years that are left. Like lots of other people, the first computer that I had was a  Sinclair ZX Spectrum+; from there you can imagine the rest. For some years, I have supported Free Software and have been enthusiastic about GNU/Linux; I consider myself to completely self-taught and never tire of learning new things. Although I have been playing with various script and markup languages (BASH and HTML) for about 10 years now, it was about three years ago that I discovered my passion and vocation for programming. My favorite language is C; I really like playing around with this. Another of my favorite subjects is the design of databases. In addition to this, I do many other things, for example I am part of the team that is translating the documentation of Gentoo Linux into Spanish.
In my blog you can find a bit of everything. I like to define it as a personal web diary where I record anecdotes about Linux, free software and programming amongst other things. But don't worry, only articles about programming will appear in Planeta Codigo :-) You can e-mail me anything using my e-mail address.
I am grateful to Juanjo for adding my posts on programming to Planeta Codigo and the good work that he and Albin are doing with this web site.
