Re: [development] Everything's a node != Everything's in 1 table

I think Edgar has some novel ideas, and they provide an implementation for my previous ideas of base objects and a cross-object database API. Although we would need benchmarks to be sure, I suspect that for inner joins on a reasonable number[1] of node types (which should all have compact primary keys), it should be very fast. This is the kind of operation most databases are highly optimized at performing. [1] MySQL limits the number of tables in a join to either 31 or 61, depending on the length of a longword for the host and operating system. How many node types maximum would we ever have?
