Some questions regarding MonetDB

Hi everyone, I've got some questions regarding MonetDB and scientifc data...more precisely, I'd like to know if MonetDB is suitable for ETL on datasets coming from NOAA in the following formats: GRIB2, NetCDF and HDF5, which all are multdimensional value grid files (to put it simple). I've already installed MonetDB and played with the tutorial, but so far I looks like a traditional RDBMS to me (yet)...any insights in this direction? Should I deep dive into the reference Manual? Another question would be...could I directly insert the data or do I have to do any parsing before? Does MonetDB provide analytical tools to do, for instance, correlation on that type of datasets? Thanks in advance, Alejandro
