We have been experimenting with small databases (50 to 100 meg.) and, so far,
like the results. It takes a long time to load the data into RAM and a long
time to save it back to disk in Rev. but while it is in RAM it runs FAST.
A modern computer should be able to hold many large databases in memory.
I think archives, for most companies, probably do not need to be loaded into
memory. They can be accessed from disk (which in Rev. means being loaded into
RAM) as needed (and purged from memory when closed).
Initially we were quite concerned about the volatility of RAM. But
solid-state memory (with proper UPS backup) is probably safer than a mechanical
Winchester disk.
Keep in touch.
