modify in memory and delay writes to disk and you can kiss it goodbye on poweroutage/system crash.

I took an exception on transaction support. He didn't specify what kind of database he needs - if it's being modified heavily, you want to have something that makes sure no data gets lost on a crash. But if all he does is querying, having it all in memory is what you want.

    This is not going to be heavily modified by any means. Adding records will occur at a specific time each day. From that point on it is mostly a query and calculations of the data gathered, and then throwing results into an output file that will be read by a person.

    It is the calculations that I will do that worry me about memory.
