Which makes me wonder... (segfault in thought process, dumping to STDOUT)

Would it be so hard to write a simple FUSE based database-filesystem for 
this very (and similar) purposes?

/mnt/contentdatabase/tablename/fileid

Mount the filesystem with bindings for each table...

[tablename]
filename=column (must have a unique constraint)
filecontent=column (must be large text/blob/clob/etc)

Why would give "normal" file access while holding it in the database
