DBOS revives the Database-Based Operating System approach, wants to compete with linux
m.slashdot.org
Hey fellow linux enjoyers,
today I found this interesting article which talks about rethinking the underlying data structures of an OS. I was always very enthusiastic about DBFileSystems but this approach takes it even a step further.
It comes with some serious caveats though.
But can it run DOOM?
The SQL query needed to fire your gun is something like
INSERT 'bullet' INTO DemonsThe comments suggest this is a cul-de-sac, with OS400 and Pick OS having thoroughly traversed this ground.
You are right. It is not a new idea, but most if not all other projects that were mentioned in the comments are dead by now.
