Experiment with posix file api for database objects #798

Closed jfroelich closed 5 years ago

jfroelich commented 5 years ago

Just a wacky brainstorming idea. Look at how operating systems implement the posix file api, with file handles. What if I did something similar with feed and entry objects loaded from the database. Similar to an active database object.

Just like how we open a file for reading and or writing, we open a feed for reading and or writing. We then change its properties, and save (commit the underlying transaction).

Just something to think about. Not sure if I like it.

Thought about it some more, don't like it. The value of database is to access pieces of information, not whole file. And I do not like ADO.
