I don’t understand this as distinction with file systems. Networked file systems exist and I have a lot of production code that shares data as files in either some networked file/blob system. Often databases even just store a reference to a file path for stuff like images/other large artifacts that are shared from some file system.
- mkleczek 4y agoIndeed - a filesystem is a form of DBMS and provides data sharing capabilities. These capabilities are very poor though - especially its data model (or rather lack of one) makes data sharing difficult as applications cannot rely on it and implement their own proprietary data model instead.
- macintux 4y agoRead-only sharing is trivial. Concurrent write accesses, not so much.
