Hi,

Is it possible/feasible/desirable to use postgresql to hold large spectral
datasets.  The dataset would consist of a number of attributes and a
spectrum.  The spectrum is simply a list of floating point values.  However,
there can be from 128 points to 32 million points for one spectrum.

There would then of course be thousands of these spectra.

I don't know how you would save those 32 million points. If you can do
so, I don't know if it is a feasible way to use postgresql.


I welcome your comments.

Glenn
