Why? A database is just an optimized flat file with a query engine.
- rlmw 16y agoBecause a database is an optimized flat file with a query engine. Its commonly the case that you wish to optimize your flat files' performance and query them. I believe that pg has mentioned a few times that he's 'notorious' for using flat files for this kind of thing. I'd love to see the code for Viaweb and the design decisions in there.
