I believe MOST dbms do this. E.g. MySQL....
I know that SQL Server use single file for db.
OpenBase as I have hear can split db on few volumes.

Well, in fact in ver 2.0 I have reserve this way!
We have
I_Volume
VolumeOnFile
VolumeOnFolder
I will not implement VolumeOnfolder right now, but in future it will be VERY
easy get this behavior.
You know why I have start use file system few years ago?
To make reverse engineering much harder.
When files are separate in folder it is very easy study them.
Inside of single file it is very hard understand what it what.
And as far as I see implementation on single file works with may be 2-3%
overhead comparing to native file system...
