You could probably probably get away with putting a single sqlite database on IPFS and using IPNS to point to the latest version and achieve the same thing. IFPS' block level deduplication means you'd only have to download the changes if the database receives a new update.

I'd like to see a decentralised database that doesn't require downloading the entire dataset. It should be possible to implement index-only queries that don't need to do a full table scan and therefore could run entirely in a browser. The only problem is that having an index for every possible query means the indices require more data than the dataset itself.
