I've just found the following snippet in todays db4o (www.db4o.com)
newsletter:

OMG Leaning towards the LINQ Way to a OODBMS Standard


*	Not having a standard query language for object databases has been a
stumbling block for OODBMS adoption.
*	The OMG is working on creating such a standard (see the OMG
activities <http://developer.db4o.com/r.ashx?3&pnr=00Q3000000C1zcYEAR> ).
*	In the last meeting in Ottawa in June, the committee has viewed LINQ
(on .NET) as the way to go for the standard.
*	LINQ is a Native Queries
<http://developer.db4o.com/Resources/view.aspx/Reference/Object_Lifecycle/Qu
erying/Native_Queries?pnr=00Q3000000C1zcYEAR>  approach combining Relational
and Object Database Queries into a unified native interface, which has been
accepted very enthusiastically by the community.
*	db4o is full heartedly supporting this direction, and has been first
to release an optimized provider for LINQ
<http://developer.db4o.com/Resources/view.aspx/Reference/Object_Lifecycle/Qu
erying/LINQ?pnr=00Q3000000C1zcYEAR> .
*	We would like to hear your opinion on the LINQ for Java group
<http://developer.db4o.com/r.ashx?2&pnr=00Q3000000C1zcYEAR> .

I think this is a very important milestone.
