Triggered by your request, I've made a deployable version of OSM3S.
It needs
only modest hardware requirements (1 GB RAM and 40 GB hard disk space
for the
entire world). See
This could be interesting, though having two simultanously updated
copies may not be the best ....
But I assume you can update semi-manually (from time to time run a
script that will download and apply all minute diff from last update
until now and once the database is finished updating, then query it...
until you think the data are too old and re-run the update again) and
then you will need only one database, right?
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM3S/install
It has a different syntax than XAPI and partly different
capabilities, but if
you work with map data and don't need metadata about users, you
likely can use it.
Hmmm ... in some cases the username and time may come handy (especially
for queries like "find wrongly tagged stuff by user X before time T,
where T is time when I send him message that he is doing something
wrong")
Is there option to turn these fields on at cost of some extra disk
space?
