RitmarkFS

RitmarkFS is an open-source and highly versatile filesystem storage engine designed for MySQL servers. This powerful engine empowers users to work with files on their servers using SQL queries or the MySQL server interface. Further, RitmarkFS makes it possible for users to access raw file contents with ease. It also provides access to common file attributes, including name, extension, path, and size.

To get started, users have to create a special table, which specifies the filesystem mount point. This table name allows all data under the mount point to be accessible by it. For instance, users can specify c:ritmarktest or /home/your_home_dir as their mount point. When they run a query like SELECT * FROM `c$$ritmarktest`, the query result will contain the records for all files in c:ritmarktest that exist recursively.

In its latest release, RitmarkFS comes with a structured driver for XML and an XML dump utility. These features make it possible to accomplish a variety of tasks, such as importing/exporting data, and manipulating data in XML format. Additionally, this new release includes updated documentation to help users make the most of the software.

In summary, RitmarkFS is highly recommended for anyone seeking an efficient, open-source, and powerful filesystem storage engine that simplifies server file management. With its easy-to-use interface and comprehensive features, this software is a must-have for any developer or user looking to work with files on their MySQL server.
