Причем продвинутые барабанные накопители работали по такому же принципу и архитектурно не позволяли произвольного доступа к данным.

The system used a 400,000-bit magnetic drum memory unit to hold seating files. It also used many registers, including two 900-bit registers that indicated whether seats in a train were vacant or reserved to accelerate searches of and updates to seat patterns. Other registers were used for communications with terminals, printing reservation notices, and CRT displays. These registers were implemented as regenerative circulating registers that used the surface of the magnetic drum as a delay line, which greatly reduced the number of flip flops needed.

Отсюда. Так что можно было в 1958 году (это ещё до БЭСМ-6) сделать базу данных на барабанном накопителе.
