Just to toss out Java where it was ignored....  :)  You've got a lot
of helper libraries that will persist the object into the database and
pull it back out.  If its a huge enterprise type app, you could look
at EJB's....but for most smaller apps, you can probably get away with
Caster JDO[1] or Hibernate[2]

My boss has been playing with Hibernate for a project he's working on
