Re: Databases, was Data Processing Switch

[Chris Albertson <chrisalbertson90278@yahoo.com>]

How big are the files?  After compression.  Tabular
data should compress well.  Maybe someone who has a
good internet connection can put them on-line.

My vision for how a database should work is that the person
who has a camera runs a little program that opens a
connection (posably over the Internet) and populates a database
as the last stage in the pipeline.  A databse can stay up to
date in near real time.
