Comment on Ask HN: Code should be stored in a database. Who has tried this?

Comments

You are talking about taxonomy, and specifically multifaceted classification. In practice a module system with unique names is sufficient- like for example npm.

However its worth noting that all of the systems that rely on databases to store code (SharePoint, SAP, Power Platform) suck haaaaaaard, mainly due to issues with versioning and configuration management.
