What portable data backends are there which have fast append and random access?

I'm working on a Qt GUI for visualizing 'live' data which is received via a TCP/IP connection.

How to manage huge amount of data using filestream since only local paths are supported for data storage?

Reading CGI POST data the most efficient way

I'm in great need of a way to dig through potentially huge amounts of CGI supplied POST data. With reading the GET data it's no big deal, as I can just re-request the QUERY_STRING environment variable as often as I want, but with POST data which is supplied via stdin.

Storage with fast read (slow write), able to store large amount of records

I'm searching for fast key-value\structured storage for lots of long strings. I'll update them seldom (and completely). I (will) store some often-update data (as users ect.) in MongoDB; as run-time update small DB (for chat) I ('m going to) use Redis (it's so pity, AFAIK, there is no ability to store data not in memory).
