	This is a request for information on hardware/architecture for
	real-time database applications.
	Specifically,

	1. What types of storage devices should one consider for real-time
	   applications on very large databases (over 100K records)?

	2. For in-memory storage of records/data, should dynamic memory
	   allocation be considered favorably?

	3. What I/O subsystem changes can be suggested to accomodate real
	   time applications on large databases?

	4. Are there any specialized engines/cards for specific database
	   operations (such as sort) in the market today?

	5. Are there any popular hardware indexing/lookup schemes for faster
	   data access?

	Thanks in advance.
