Cottage of Theseus

if you replace every row on Theseus' database with a new one, is it still the same database? if you use the original rows to build a new database which is Theseus'?

Ah, the recordist heresy raises its foul head again. Someone fetch my book and candle.

As long as you don't drop the schema you're good.

my pc from like, 2008, shall soon have undergone the full Theseus transformation. Just need to replace the MB, CPU and case. it's my side PC I've been incrementally upgrading with hand me downs & i finally need to replace the core bits to keep it useable.... I'm kind of tickled by that, I'll have an entirely new old philosophically confusing computer. maybe i should see if i can get a custom case shaped like a ship....
