I would say Systems are Tables, Components are rows, and Entities are Primary Keys.
- bodge5000 4y agoEntities as primary keys is very good! Though as systems generally handle the data transformation, Im not sure they equate to tables
- spoiler 4y agoIMO most analogies kinda fall short, but kinda makes sense in my head is: Entity as ID; Components as Columns, but only kinda; Systems as Application code or functions Tables in this database/ECS analogy are just tables here too, or memory rather. The data is often conceptually (and implementation wise) laid out as tables in ECS, too
