Yes, that sounds interesting as one option.

Hm yes.

I am collecting up to 6000-7000 informations in a timeline of 1-3
Secounds, that 24h a day, 365 days a year. The harddrives may not be
fast enough to collect the data, that´s really heavy. All these data
must be analyzed in realtime if required by the customer(s).
parallelized query is an interseting idea.
