Store data persistently so it can be looked up efficiently* sounds like a single problem.
- SirFatty 11mo agoDefinitely two.
- cjbgkagh 11mo agoIt’s not persistent if it can’t be recovered later

- BetaDeltaAlpha 11mo agoDoesn't the black hole compresses the bottle beyond recovery?
- stvltvs 11mo agoNot necessarily, opinions vary. https://www.sciencenewstoday.org/do-black-holes-destroy-or-store-information https://www.sciencenewstoday.org/do-black-holes-destroy-or-s...
- SahAssar 11mo ago"Store data persistently" implies "it can be looked up" since if you cannot look it up it is impossible to know if it is stored persistently. The "efficiently" part can be considered a separate problem though.
- prerok 11mo agoWell, if you just want to store data, you can use files. Lookup is a bit tedious and inefficient. So, if we consider that persistent storage is a solved problem, then we can say that the reason for databases was how to look up data efficiently. In fact, that is why they were invented, even if persistent storage is a prerequisite.
- nonethewiser 11mo agoHow about "store data in certain way." That sounds more like 1 problem and encompasses an even larger problem space.
