  It depends on what you mean by "database". If you mean relational
  databases (RDBMSs), then yes we can and do a lot better in terms of
  performance in implementing our own mud databases. RDMSs work
  better with batch-access patterns or operations on "sets" of data, or
  as Alexander Popeil stated, "large grain transactions".
  For instance many existing muds' database access patterns are already
  optimized for the constructs:
  
  select * from MUD_DB where id = "#162";
  update MUD_DB set name = "troll" where id = "#162";
  insert object_data into MUD_DB;
  
  and will almost always outperform an RDMS (barring some really
  shoddy construction).
  
  On the other hand set operations like,
  select * from MUD_DB where type = "sword";
  update MUD_DB set damage = "2d6"
  where type = "sword" and material = "steel";
  
  will be done very well in an RDMS. However set operations like this
  are not often done in existing mud designs.
  
  I agree generally with your comments about partitioning a server.
  However, I view database and memory management as a single
  sub-system, rather than making an arbitrary distinction between where
  the data or objects reside. I suppose it depends on how one chooses
  to implement persistence.
