Yes, that was my point.

I would state this as "document records," because I assume that's what
you mean--I can't come up with other "permanent data structures." This
certainly limits the scope of changes, mostly to inside DocumentDB.cc
and below.
I guess I'll come back to a question (ignoring the why that seems to
be the current topic). If one were implementing a SQL backend, what
functions would you actually need? How do these differ from what we
already have? (The second question is aimed more towards an
abstraction layer.)
