I use recursive queries in SQL to search persistent suffix arrays (mainly when there is a LOT OF DATA). You can do string search hundreds of gigabytes of data within ~0.004s with SQLite on cheap SSD and pretty much no RAM - my goal is to be able to be able to search and align on all genetic information we have so far (about ~9 trillion base pairs in total)

If anyone knows how to increase INSERT speeds on Postgres, I would appreciate. I can get about 100K per second with COPY or putting the inserts in a transaction. Have tried some more mirrored NVME drives and more RAM with ZFS, as well as dropping some unimportant indexes, but I'm still a little limited. Any thoughts?
