This paper discusses two mechanisms for weaving aspects in persistent environments founded on object-oriented databases. The first mechanism is based on exploiting existing aspect languages and their associated weavers while the second mechanism is based on building weaving functionality into the database management system (DBMS). The first mechanism has been used to integrate AspectJ and its associated weaver with the Jasmine ODBMS. The second approach has been used to implement a weaver within the SADES object database evolution system.
