@bert_hubert@eupolicy.social You mean like https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/sqlite-blob/, correct? Your SQL engine would still be involved, and needs to do string parsing just to understand what it is you want to store in binary. Yes it's faster than converting to base64 and back, but not as fast as a memcpy ala LMDB. I said "*really*" for a reason 😉 @hyc@mastodon.social @Archivist@social.linux.pizza
