in thread RFC: Fuse::DBI - mount database as filesystem

It does not matter that you cannot have so complicated queries in the filesystem interfaces. It is not about emulating databases by filesystems it is about connecting tools working on filesystems, like a text editor, to a database.

    Well, that's the point of proc. I fail to see the need for a text editor to edit individual keys of individual tables directly, if that's the case, I'll pull up psql or equivalent...

    Single entry editing by a text editor is never used, especially when you are editing records...and what about binary data in records, etc? If you have one record per file that could get ugly...
