"database" doesn't say anything about the implementation of a database on 
the filesystem, and it doesn't even say whether the database is the 
filesystem itself. I could call a whole CVS repository a database, easily. 
There's no requirement that a database shields itself from the filesystem 
on which it is stored nor that it refrains from using perms and other OS 
features.
