ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for supporting storage functions using an embedded database management system. The apparatus includes a disk controller configured to receive input/output (I/O) requests from a host, an embedded database management system module, and a conversion module configured to translate the input/output requests into database requests and communicate the database requests with the embedded database management system module. The system may include the apparatus, a network, and a plurality of storage devices coupled to the network and configured to store data. The method includes receiving input/output (I/O) requests from a host, translating the input/output requests into database requests, communicating the database requests with an embedded database management system module, and executing the database requests.
