1. A method for storing a measurement, the method comprising:
- receiving bulk data associated with the measurement;
receiving one or more attribute values associated with the measurement, wherein the one or more attribute values associated with the measurement specify one or more of;
a date for when the bulk data was acquired;
a time for when the bulk data was acquired;
a name of a person controlling acquisition of the bulk data;
a serial number of a unit under test; and
an engineering unit with which the bulk data was acquired;
storing the bulk data in a first data store; and
storing the one or more attribute values in a second data store;
wherein the first data store is a different type of data store than the second data store.

Abstract
A system and method for storing measurements. Each measurement may include bulk data and attribute data. The bulk data and the attribute data may be stored using different storage mechanisms. In one embodiment, relational database technology may be used to store the attribute data. Relational database technology may facilitate querying or searching on the attribute data. The bulk data may be stored in a database specialized for storing bulk data.

17. A method for storing data, the method comprising:
-
receiving the data, wherein a first portion of the data comprises attribute data and a second portion of the data comprises bulk data, wherein the attribute data comprise one or more attribute values specifying one or more of; a date for when the bulk data was acquired; a time for when the bulk data was acquired; a name of a person controlling acquisition of the bulk data; a serial number of a unit under test; and an engineering unit with which the bulk data was acquired; storing the second portion of the data comprising the bulk data in a first data store; and storing the first portion of the data comprising the attribute data in a second data store; wherein the first data store is a different type of data store than the second data store. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A system comprising:
-
a storage for measurement data, wherein the measurement data comprises bulk data and attribute data, wherein the attribute data comprises one or more attribute values associated with the measurement specifying one or more of; a date for when the bulk data was acquired; a time for when the bulk data was acquired; a name of a person controlling acquisition of the bulk data; a serial number of a unit under test; and an engineering unit with which the bulk data was acquired; and wherein the storage comprises; a relational storage for storing the attribute data; and a compressed real-time storage for storing the bulk data; and an interface to the storage, wherein the interface is operable to retrieve one or more units of the bulk data and the attribute data based on a search query submitted to the interface.
