So, Postgres 95 might not be the best choice for you, since it does
no persistent C++ classes. Of course a persistence interface could be
written for Postgres 95 (how about integrating one into G++ ?). Smart
pointers to persistent objects reminds me to the "texas persistent
store" system. You should have a look on their approach.
