I've got an incoming stream of records that needs to be "logged" and then
later retrieved.
It's numeric data having about 10 fields, and I would form indexes on about
3 fields. While the data is arriving I can assume, generally, that no other
user will be accessing it.
We will be using "basic" Pentium 800 MHz based systems. What kind of record insert rate can I expect?
How much more efficiency would I gain by using a straight ISAM file for this data?
TIA.
