Is this AI text? If this is AI text: Nevermind. If no: I guess we're not really on the same page. I didn't say relational database. I mean it's obviously not. It's a document-oriented one. Which is exactly the kind of database you need when processing ...well... documents. If you do additional web application mumbo jumbo, you might need a relational database. But this wasn't really about any of this. We were talking of how expensive document retrievals are...
This is not AI text and you're the one who's departed from the OP's request:
The definition of a wiki is unambiguous:
The entire context of OP's post is web, ie the Internet. We are not taking about physical book libraries. We aren't discussing microfiche. The only relevant database type germane to OP is a relational database, as you readily noted:
I'm sorry. For some reason we're completely talking past each other... Your harddisk/ssd/usb-stick is a document based database afaik. You store data in form of files/documents on your HDD. It's a bit like a library, yes. Those documents are organzed a certain way. In folders... maybe on shelves or whatever the digital equivalent is...
The important parts of a wiki (the articles with the interesting information in them) are organized exactly the same way. That's why DokuWiki manages to pull it off without a relational database. It really doesn't matter for something like an encyclopedia or knowledge database. Can be articles in a books sitting on shelves in some building. Or digital files on a server, organized by a very similar hierarchy / topics. ...And because that's a subset of what a relational database can do, you can use them as well! (Edit: Not sure if my terminology is 100% correct... we also have the word: hierarchical databases? could also be what I mean.)
...Sorry for the AI confusion on my side...
What makes you think it's AI text?
I'm not convinced it is, that's why I'm asking. Doesn't really sound like it. Though I think it misses the point we were talking about, and is kinda verbose while talking about not really related points... Which is a telltale sign for some chatbots. I can't tell. Could be someone talking the way I sometimes do, or an AI.
