The disk database

The disk schema persists the configuration to disk.

The persistent configuration will be available on next restarts.

These tables are the persistent equivalent of configuration of in-memory tables.
Configuration on in-memory tables is lost across restarts, while the content of configuration on disk tables is persistent.
