It's geospatial data from OpenStreetMap stored in a schema optimized for PostGIS extension (produced by osm2pgsql).

BTW: Having said (to Martijn) that using Postgres is probably more efficient, than programming an in-memory database in a decent language: OpenStreetMap has a very, very large Node table which is heavily used by other tables (like ways) - and becomes rather slow in Postgres. Since it's of fixed length I'm looking at file_fixed_length_record_fdw extension [1][2] (which is in-memory) to get the best of both worlds.

First. please don't top-post on the PostgreSQL lists. See <http://idallen.com/topposting.html>

Second, what the heck makes you think that this is in any sense in-memory? You can process a multi-terabyte fixed length file. It's not held in memory.
