Hi,

Thanks for your interest. This app load scv files which change every day (sometimes the columns too). The sizes of these files are in avg 15MB. So, We load something like 100MB each day. We tried to find a better solution but we couldn't, becouse one of the our requirement is not to use a lot of space. Also, the app is used to consult these information, and for our particular type of select's queries, we get the best performance if the information is all into a same row.
