SQL Server O/R Hybrid Database

Update: I've just signed with Manning Publications to write Object/Relational Hybrid Designs.

The SQL Server O/R Mapping experiment is an object-oriented abstraction facade layer that transforms SQL Server 2000 or 2005 from a relational database to an object-relational database.

O/R databases combine the query, industry, and integrity strengths of the relational engine with the development power of the object oriented interface, inheritance, association spidering, to create a vastly improved application development environment.

Developed completely with T-SQL, SQL Server O/R has been through about 20 iterations, and is well tuned for performance.

SQL Server O/R dbms supports the following Pure Object-Oriented concepts:

Classes / Sub Classes

Domain Integrity

Inheritance

Polymorphism

Complex Objects

Beyond pure OOdbms, SQL Server O/R dbms adds:

Workflow State

Complex Associations

Collections & Aggregations

Association Spidering

Façade Code Generation
