On the other hand (and I'm not actually advocating it, since I've never tried it), it would also be possible to build indexes of the data that are kept in memory, while keeping the actual data in a collection of many stack files which are then loaded and unloaded as required.

As I say, I've never tried this (or needed to), but it might be an interesting experiment sometime.

Best,

Mark

The original data I'm looking at importing is well and truly over one million records.

I think that pretty much requires an external database. If you dump that much data into a stack I don't think you'll like the results.
