Preparing TPC Anode HV data for the DB

There are 2 kinds of information about the Anode HVs which are important:

Offline DB performance study

Offline Database is READ-heavy (99% reads / 1% writes due to replication), therefore it should benefit from various buffers optimization, elimination of key-less joins and disk (ram) IO improvement
