When you have objects stored on disk, it's usually very convenient to read them on demand. However, MySQL is clearly not meant for this purpose. Query overhead, complexity of SQL needed, and some other limitation make object storage and retrieval a headache.

The question is, is it possible to write reasonably efficient OO database in php? Two main factors would be: 1) Is is possible to make fast B-tree index search without writing any C code? 2)How long does it takes for PHP to open 1 file? (It will need to open hundreds of them.)
