My boss—a biologist—told me to buy Oracle. Me: What is Oracle, exactly? Boss: It’s a database. Me: Why do we want it? Boss: We have data. We have to put it in a database. Me: I don’t think so. Boss: Our data is important. Don’t argue, just go buy it. It should cost $10,000. 1/2

thanks for the reply! suspect as much. how did you manage indexing? I have this feeling that any attempt to build out a flatfile store ends up building at least half an RDBMS by the time you're finished anyway.

There really wasn’t much data. I can’t remember details, but the whole thing was probably two pages of code.
