Which sort of begs the question "whats the difference between a directory containing several files of different types and a file containing several different named streams".

Now with MS announcing they are working on "database as a filesystem" at some future point, it seems the rest of the world might be catching up to the idea of file-as-a-db. Am I in the right ballpark to think that MS's stated goals are essentially what Macs have been doing for years?

Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978|Andrew Grygus]

Structured resource forks make really shitty databases.

OTOH, Apple has hired the files system designer from Be - it will be interesting to see where he takes HFS+.

And of course, the AS-400 has had a database for a file system forever (so I'm told - never used one).
I am out of the country for the duration of the Bush administration.
