If that's the case how would the sqlite package (also part of sqlean)'s fileio work out https://github.com/nalgeon/sqlean/blob/main/docs/fileio.md fileio_read - Read file contents as a blob. fileio_scan - Read a file line by line. fileio_write - Write a blob to a file. fileio_append - Append a string to a file. fileio_mkdir - Create a directory. fileio_symlink - Create a symlink. fileio_ls - List files in a directory. If one only exposes sqlite command query access and limit certain aspects of this sqlite extension depending on the use case perhaps, I feel like this might be a good alternative as well? Edit: thinking more about it I think its for actually making sqlite interact with the filesystem and not the idea of it acting as a file system itself without too much overhead, I was thinking something like th

e sqlite database itself stores data and then we could do these operations fileio etc. but this isnt possible from what I could gather. perhaps this might be more interesting https://github.com/narumatt/sqlitefs but what I mean is if something like the merge of fileio + sqlitefs where things dont have to go through fuse in general if that makes sense hopefully Maybe I went a little tangential but sqlite is really awesome
In FUSE is All You Need – Giving agents access to anything via filesystems
I want to see a mountable file system contained in an SQLite file. It creates possibilities. [1] is Java (yikes) and has been inactive six years. [2] is in Rust and has been inactive three years but does not seem to be available in cargo. [3] is in Go, lacks a LICENSE file, has been inactive four months, the README is in Russian, but well the demo code works. pkg.go.dev will not display its API.
