There seems to be no single software solution "out there" for mounting an SQLite DB (or an SQLite archive) as a file system, with or without per-record relative paths.

There's FUSE-using Sqlitefs & WebDAV-using Wddbfs.
FUSE on Mac seems to be a kernel/permissions mess.
Is there a software solution to mounting any DB as a filesystem?
Why would you want to do that?
Convenience? Not cluttering up a directory with a transient file tree?
But why would you want to use SQLite for that?
On a Mac, you'd e.g. use and mount a disk image if you wanted to create a filesystem inside of a file. Windows has virtual hard drives, and you can do that kind of thing on Linux too.
I don't understand why you'd ever want to use a relational database for that. It's a completely different paradigm.
Although I also don't really understand why you're worried about cluttering up a directory. And if it's transient, it's that when temp dirs are for?
