I am planning to develop a database that has to cope with high data throughput and is very demanding on writing speed. The Could you quantify your writing speed. Indicative numbers are okay. amount of data will increase over time and therefore scalability is important. How does MonetDB cope with this issue? Are there any other ways of accomplishing that rather then increasing processor speed? Is it e.g possible to have multiple computers to feed one database or seperate the database across multiple machines? This depends very much on the application in mind. We currently don't support automatic distribution etc (thats (research) work in progress). But many applications can get away with application level distribution.

A bit more information on the application would be needed for a proper answer for your question. Niels
