The author shares their struggle with using sqlite databases for prototyping projects, opting for a filesystem approach instead for ease of use. To bridge the gap, they introduce wddbfs, a utility that exposes a sqlite database as a filesystem accessible to terminals, file managers, and text editors through mounting. With simple commands like ls, tail, and grep, users can interact with the database data in CSV, TSV, and json formats. However, limitations include reading the entire table into memory for every read and lack of write support currently. The innovative approach of merging sqlite databases with a filesystem is a unique solution to simplifying database interactions.
