 Database tables were a tuple abstraction. Now we have a signed event abstraction which we can build higher order constructions that look like database tables.

 Errrr no, it's just a text string.  It's largely inferior to almost any other data structure that's even been invented, but it just about works.

 It doesn’t have to replace databases writ large. Just the private sensitive stuff. I have already implemented a mini-database system for my wallet component and it works just fine.
