hello all,
got this idea from a slashdot article on slashdot.
well is there this out there?:
a postgresql server that has a db of the entire filesystem. you could run
sql methods on this database to read and write files to the file system.
now who and where are of course decided by postgresql permissions of what
users can touch what table and db and how they can touch it (read only,
write only to one table [/home/someuser for example], etc...) and from where.
so you can read and write to the filesystem thru a pgsql server remotely,
all thru a same interface that you can use to get info from tables from
another postgresql server on some other box.
also something nice for us sql friendly network admins.
just curious and if no on has started on this, i would like to start a
project on it. would also like to hear your opinions on this idea and maybe
even advice.
thanks,
Chris Humphries
