The implementation of STSdb Engine is in two fully isolated logical layers – STSdb File System and STSdb Database:
Layer I – STSdb File System (internal file system)
- STSdb Engine is based on innovative file system. So by using a file system it provides an enumerable set of isolated sequential bytes to STSdb Database.
The STSdb File System supports up to
files, each of what up to bytes. The integrated STSdb File System garbage collector provides for fast and automatic file space management. The STSdb File System can be contained in a single or being spread across multiply files. The existence of an internal file system allows for the removal of OS file system dependence later.
- This layer stands for table management – create, delete, iterate, modify, etc.
Onto each file there can be one or more tables placed. The file is the physical medium of the table, from the table point of view. That way, the data from the base can be worked with, both on table (as rows) and file (as tables) level. That’s especially useful when working with table sets – cascade tables, snapshot tables, etc.
