Comments on: Statistic’s Software Development – Some Tips http://www.alexandre-gomes.com/?p=224 Technology, programming, ideas and innovation are my preferred subjects. Working professionally on programming gives me plenty of new topics to write about, still my brain keeps popping out ideas in the most unexpected places.

made out to be an issue I felt nauseous. My sd-card has a gb on it. Gb’s cost pennies now. Speed wise, hardware will likely outpace your development cycle if your going to be this hard on yourself.
But, I will say that I’m not a programmer; have done some, but ain’t one as I run away. You do have a point when your talking about speed, but you have no data to talk about how your speed will be
affected by. If I where you I would just aim for speed and clustering if you intend to build something that requires a mainframe as you imply

However, my browsers happily oblige the /-key to search and the single most absent word that grabbed my attention was
‘partitioning’

Once you mention a billion records, you will *have* to think about partitioning; with a view to scalability (clustering/farming) and to avoid death by index
locking.

Just wanted to shout it, because, you know, you just *might* not need it. Very slim chance :)
