Hi Holger,

Since I don't need to keep anything stored through Jena, I obviously
don't need Oracle.  If i understood correctly, some physical (temp)
storage is needed for the middleware API to work?  Did you recommend
TDB for best performance?  Possibly also easiest to setup?  Does the
data accumulate so that I have to write code to periodically delete it
(i.e. can it be configured as temp data)?  Also, does TopBraid offer a
service that can be used for development?  Cost is the biggest factor
for me.  I'm also not a good sysadmin and right now I have to do
everything myself.  The context of my use case is described here
http://groups.google.com/group/fluiddb-users/browse_thread/thread/5509f8ac029b9948
and I'm also curious what you think about it...

Regards,

Orlin
