Gustav, given the read up on their web site, their main customers probably come from the Investment banking system - tons of data - little time etc and they probably charge a commensurate fee - hence my comment re BBPA costs. I have sent the link to some people but would like to know costs if you can discover any. My gut feeling is that they will tailor costs to the client which is why they are not quoted.

But why not ask? I once asked some tech question and the response was very fast and precise - and obtuse. That said, also Oracle and MySQL offer in-memory engines. At Oracle it is TimesTen, which probably is high-priced and with a different focus, while the MySQL is free: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.4/en/memory-storage-engine.html However, I think the Kdb engine is by far the fastest of these. /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 29-09-2009 14:17 >>> ROTFL.

The docs are tight too so everything fits your obtuse style (as William once claimed), the exception being the cost of a commercial license - you have to ask for the price - for which you _will_ need funding from the client. > > It is optimized for exactly your purpose: analysing of massive amounts of data.
