Could we expect performance gains from Sqlite being in the kernel?
- skissane 2y agoThe idea of embedding SQLite in the kernel, reminds me of IBM OS/400 (the operating system of the IBM AS/400, nowadays known as IBM i). It contains a built-in relational database, although exactly how deeply integrated it is, is not entirely clear, due to lack of details of its inner workings. Putting a relational database in the OS kernel is an interesting violation of standard layering. Obviously has the potential to unleash a lot of issues, but also could possibly enable novel features.
