Hi Bob,

You may want to think about using an SQL database and the RSI dataminer.
The dataminer was too expensive for me so I wrote a dlm that mimics the
PostgreSQL libpq functions (*nix only at this point). It works very well
as I can quickly access data from IDL on my laptop anywhere that I have an
internet connection. Moreover, the ability to use SQL to filter 5TB of
data into only the interesting bits is very useful.

If anyone is interested in the libpq dlm, don't hesitate to send me an
e-mail. My apologies, in advance, to windows and/or mySQL users.

Cheers,
Randall
