dbfs
Database as a filesystem.
How to install
You'll need the following dependencies:
- sbcl
- quicklisp
- libfuse
- make
And simply run make to build the dbfs binary.
Then, you can run:
$ mkdir db/
$ ./dbfs db/ postgresql host dbname username password
If you're running postgresql locally, the host should be 127.0.0.1 and not localhost.
If you have docker, you can get a local postgresql instance by running
make docker-create, then make docker-(start|stop).
Spec
Will surely change as I iterate on the thing.
- /db/: list of tables
- /db/[table-name]/structure/: table's structure
- /db/[table-name]/structure/[field-name]: meta-data of the field (e.g. primary key)
- /db/[table-name]/identifier: file defining on which field(s) the filenames will be based on in data/. This will be guessed based on the primary key(s) if possible.
- /db/[table-name]/data/: data of the table
- /db/[table-name]/data/[id]: data of the row
