SQL Server 2008 has a feature called Filestream. A filestream column is a
BLOB that exposes binary data as a Windows file handle. The application sees
the BLOB as a file but it has the management and concurrency features of the
DBMS as well. This is the product of what was once the WinFX project.

The old dos/windows filesystem is like a database anyway. You can
select entries (records, files) by wildcard or directly.
It is obvious that this old and slow database has to be replaced by a
modern an efficient one.

On the other hand we need a database not relying on a file system but
doing the disk i/o by its own.
