This is really a question you should discuss with SQL server experts, not with OSM experts. A watercooled and over-clocked CPU is good but a well designed query is even better, and "well designed" depends very much on how the database system works that's why I said SQL server experts. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Route_altitude_profiles_SRTM is an example of loading SRTM data into a PostGIS. I don't know what you want to do but if you're thinking about route altitude profiles, then you'd most certainly first want to compute a route and then add the altitude information to that, rather than adding altitude to every point in OSM first. But at this point we can just guess really. Tell us exactly what you want to achieve and we might be able to suggest something. "Building a database with SRTM data and OSM data" is not nearly precise enough.
