Re: [Gnu-arch-users] file system interface to a database

[Andy Tai]

Thanks for the information. It does not look like this is an easy thing
to do, to try to put a tla archive on top of sqlite.  But
nontheless I may try to look into continuing the work you have done
when I feel up to it...

I worked on creating a virtual filesystem (hackerlab vu layer) for both
zip files, and for an sqlite database. I don't know that I got very far
with the sqlite database.
But here is my older archive:

In general, writing a virtual filesystem wasn't terribly hard. The
hardest part was handling the fact that tla wants atomic rename, but
that isn't possible in a zip file. (*especially* if you are renaming
between zip files).

I guess that was the hard part in general. There were a lot of places in
the tla code where it expected everything to be on the same filesystem.
