A raw hard drive is already a DB by just allow you to write to them in that sense, but no one would consider them a decent DB.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoNot all databases are relational, even though many are. Filesystems are definitely strongly overlapping with what you'd consider a document-oriented NoSQL database. The underlying datastructures are really the same in a filesystem and a database in every way that matters.
