Dear list, I hope this question is in the right place here. If not -- sorry.
We do some experiments with the community edition of scidb (http://www.paradigm4.com/), an array database founded by Michael Stonebraker. Scidb is often used with R und python. There are allready gdal drivers (https://github.com/appelmar/scidb4gdal) to load data into scidb.
I think those drivers are mainly for import and export of data in/from scidb. I tried to use that gdal driver in mapserver to visualize an gdal-uploaded array. It works already but seems to be slow. Maybe I am using it wrong but I suppose that this driver is not intended to perform well for example in mapserver.
Perhaps an enhanced scidb driver would be an interesting objective for gdal. Scidb seems to be great with arrays and mulitple dimensions can be worked with. In my opinion it would be quite interesting to have scidb as backend for WMS, WCS and WPS services that could be set up with mapserver and gdal. I think gdal would be the right tool to implement a driver.
Perhaps someone already thought about a combination of scidb, gdal and mapserver?
