Continuing my looking into this, the SQLite range requests trick was implemented in this [0] project. It turns out that project was inspired by a few others [1], two of which [2][3] implement a vfs for SQLite on top of bittorrent doing exactly this suggestion, but with a bittorrent hosted file rather than IPFS. They only download the parts of the SQLite files needed when querying. 0: https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs 1: https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs#inspiration https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs#inspiration 2: https://github.com/lmatteis/torrent-net https://github.com/lmatteis/torrent-net 3: https://github.com/bittorrent/sqltorrent https://github.com/bittorrent/sqltorrent
