They’re more like blob storage.
Blob storage usually uses a FS back end so it’s more like blob storage is like a file system
@drq Come on, that can’t be your F I R S T post.
@linuxmemes@th3rdsergeevich It is my first op-post on lemmy, that’s right.
If file systems are databases, then does that mean storing a sqlite db on a HDD is database inception?
@slazer2au Yes!
@pics
But they are not DBMS
And files are streams. 🎵 Islands in the stream. 🎵
🎵 That is what we awk 🎵
Behold! I present to you: Database as Filesystem
everything is a file including a filesystem*
* including databases
And the worst FAT32
Mine’s more of a databivouac.
The list of reasons filesystems are not databases is a database.
Honestly that’s basically what CephFS is
@possiblylinux127 Or BeFS
BeFS doesn’t run on top of a data store. CephFS runs on RADOS.
Every Homestuck fan already knows this.
@RizzRustbolt What’s your fetch modus, warrior?
“I have a system”. Items are sorted randomly on to the top of “piles”. I can retrieve any item from any pile, but pulling from anywhere except from the top of the pile destroys it.
@RizzRustbolt Associative array here. Aka dictionary. Boring but practical.
For example, a directory full of spreadsheets.
Somewhere, a sysadmin is pulling his hair out
or CSV files
Tbh still preferred to that asshat who rolls out an MS Access “app”
That’s less the Unix way and more the BeOS way.
