in databases, is there a otion of folders?

qqq22:06:00

we have databases, we have tables

qqq22:06:04

tables exist in databases

qqq22:06:11

but can we have database -> folders -> tables inside fol.ders ?

qqq22:06:20

or is it just one level "tables are names inside of databases" ?

noisesmith23:06:37

wouldn't this classically be expresses as a relation? each item in table a has a relational link to an item in b across some indexed identifier based column

noisesmith23:06:15

but that's not the same, no, you are talking about heirarchies between tables, which is different

qqq23:06:50

let me rephrase question

qqq23:06:30

current setup is like my_db/pets my_db/animals my_db/shelters

qqq23:06:09

I'm wondering if we can have: my_db/foo/pets my_db/foo/animals my_db/foo/shelters my_db/langs/c!! my_db/langs/clojure my_db/langs/elisp

qqq23:06:17

where pets, animals, shelters, c++, clojure, elisp are all tables

qqq23:06:31

in another way, I want table names to have a 'path/hierarchy' instead of all 'op level'
