Hi Keith,

Our Valentina database :-)

1) It is faster in 50-100 times (usually) of any RDBMS as SqlLite, mySQL,
Postgre, MS SQL, Access.

Because Valentina DB is columnar, and because of many other things.


2)  Vertica is good but they say much much more expensive.


If you need more details let me know.

3) in fact, 25MB and 140k records is quite small database :-)
Why you think you need super-speed?

Our users did have e.g. 40 million records, 30-40GB and more...
