It sounds like something you might be able to accomplish with a copy-on-write VFS on top of a Firebird database file. (Not sure about PostgreSQL, but with Firebird, you only deal with one file, so with Firebird, this should definitely work.)
- nikita 4y agoThere is an enterprise company called Delphix that does it on top of Zfs - so the idea was in the air. Instead of duct taping this together with a filesystem we purpose built database storage. The advantage to this is that we can much tighter control execution paths and can profile them end-to-end. Additionally this allows us to integrate with S3 and make it much much cheaper to run.
- jhgb 4y agoTechnically Firebird just requires a block device, so you might not even need a filesystem.
