ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for performing file system operations involving a link is provided. A request to perform a file system operation involving a link is received from a client at a database server. The link may establish a relationship a source resource has to a target resource. The source resource and the target resource may be stored within a repository implemented by a storage medium, such as a database. The database server may perform the file system operation by storing, in the database, one or more link records that identifies the link between the first resource and the second resource. File system operations, such as a NFS file system operation, which involve links may be performed at a database management system.
