That I don't get.

You have something that conceptually look like:

frontend layer (VT, web, web service, whatever)---[API] business logic 
layer---[API] persistence layer---actual storage

If you change the actual storage then the persistence layer need
to change, but the rest should not need to change.

Some manage to mess up business logic layer, persistence layer and
storage by putting business logic in stored procedures in the database,
but that is not the case here as RMS index-sequential files does not
support SP at all.
