I'm new to databases, but I am considering one for soft real-time data recording of scientific data. Then any client/display program can grab data.
I'll be recording 300-500 variables/columns per second for about 10 hours at a stretch. All variables are floats.
a) Is there a way to insert/write floats to the DB without converting to ASCII first? Seems expensive.
b) I'm still wading through the documentation, but what would be the prefered method for polling to see if a new row has been written? I assume there is no notification process available from the server....
TIA for any pointers.
