Dear Ros Users, I am writting a ros package to emulate a database in which I want to store many(1000+) text files(each containing about 4000 float values). Originally I though of using bag files to store this info but now it looks like thats not what I want. Basically I want to store these files and be able to perform Addition, Deletion, and Querying(compare one text file against all the rest to infer some properties of grasps). Right now I have made Ros msg representing the text files and can move them around ros, but the problem is storing these messages in some lasting memory so that I just load the database(which I can also make a ros message) in the beginning and to stuff then write it back. Does anybody have experience in this or something related or just some ideas I could use to go about this? Also I need to querying to be really fast(the goal is real time control) -- Best Regards, Billy Okal sure vi is user friendly, its just particular about who to be friends with
