Interfacing an object-oriented language with Oracle

I'm working on a master's thesis project that involves the design and implementation of an object-oriented database language that I call Squid. Squid has, among other features, an query language based on SQL. The plan so far is to have Squid act as on objectoriented  front-end perched on top of Oracle, letting Oracle handle transaction management, etc. Therefore, Squid object definitions, methods, and data structures must be translated into something Oracle can handle.

My question is: does anyone have any experience doing this, either with Oracle or another relational database? Any suggestions, tips, cautions, or references to previous work would be most appreciated.

Thanks very much!
