Suppose you took a paging virtual memory and made it permanent
over system power downs, and backable up, like a file system.
I think MULTICS does this.  Now, would this permanent paging
virtual memory be a good replacement for a DBMS for applications
that typically rely on a DBMS?  Alternatively, would the permanent
paged VM provide an efficient basis for implementation of a DBMS?
