I wanted to ask if the new database structure on the PS4 is good or bad. What are the advantages? What disadvantages
I can't say what the console actually uses databases for.
However, databases usually store data by breaking them down into small fragments and then distributing them in a tree structure that enables quick access (usually O (log (n.
I suspect that this process "optimizes" these tree structures and stores related data closer together and as sequentially as possible in memory, similar to what happens when the file system is defragmented. This can minimize memory requirements by "filling gaps" and speeding up access.
Unnecessary data is deleted, which contributes to the fact that the ps4 generally runs faster and more fluently
