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
