Nope no chance. Those pieces of data are all going to wind up in different places, because they'll have completely different hashes. This is why build distributed databases is hard. If you wanted this to work you could just insert SSK@<some_key>/colors/ with a list of links. I think something like this might be theoretically possible with containers since they're stored in the same place, but it seems like a lot of special purpose code would have to be added to all the nodes to do this; so I don't see it happening. In short, you can easily store a heiarchical structure in a freenet, like a dirrectory tree. You can forget about tring to do any relational algebra, so no "join table X with table Y on field a" if tuples of X and Y are all over the place. __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
