Hi,
I have to build a 'high' performance database konwing that the requests
will always be of the same type : find an address given an ID. This is
the ONLY resquest performed but on a very large database.
Since I'm working under linux, I've thought of creating my own structure
to store the data, such as using a full disk and accessing only a part
of it from an address found in a hash table. Since the disk can be seen
as a file, it should work well (?).
Can someone advice me about which database would be the best to answer
always the same kind of very simple request ???
Is the system I've thought of not too optimistic ???
The problem is that I fear this system might not be as performant as a
standard database system (well optimised) . . .
Thanks
