Using Write-Once Memory for Database Storage
Summary: Repurpose laser-written write-once optical disks as cheap, large random-access read-mostly storage for databases by appending updated records to new locations instead of in-place rewrites. Analyzes address-space and rewrite limits, optical-device properties, presents mechanisms (e.g., DRAW), capacity/performance estimates and design tradeoffs for using WOS as RMS.
