@goetz@freiburg.social @jpmens@mastodon.social @gereon@chaos.social no need to change your mind: I agree. Somebody else change our minds.
But working from the command line, zip and sqlite3 can process the archive/database with similar level of abstraction. If you're talking about archives of archives, and archives within filesystems, and databases within archives, we're talking reCURSEon: different problem.

@giuseppe_aceto@scholar.social @goetz@freiburg.social @jpmens@mastodon.social @gereon@chaos.social Not Unix (not that it matters) OS/400 can do similar things from the beginning natively, you can SELECT * FROM anytextfile in a kind of database-first design (with variable length records!)
