Per experimental series I will generate 500 to 5000 sets of experiments and will store all the experimental results. I expect this to get into the 100MB range. Most my need are just data storage of the experiment options and storing the results. In terms of queries, I just have a simple question of which experiment produce the best results. I don't expect the queries to be to demanding. Probably the most taxing process will be to generate the 500 to 5000 sets of options from some meta-experiment data. I will post a note in a month or two when I get it working. In all honesty, I don't expect it to be very trying for the system. I hope ;-) P.S. I am running on a 486/DX2 running Linux.
