onefilepertable
The concept of “onefilepertable” refers to a storage strategy in which each database table is stored in its own separate file. This technique is common in lightweight or embedded database systems, as well as in some custom file‑based data stores. By partitioning data at the file level, the system can avoid large, monolithic data files and can provide simpler fault isolation; a corruption in one file typically does not affect other tables.
Implementations of the pattern appear in several well‑known systems. Some versions of the H2 database allow
The main advantages of onefilepertable are reduced file size and memory footprint for individual tables, easier
Typical use cases include embedded devices, mobile applications, and small‑scale analytics pipelines where file‑based storage eliminates
