An actual database containing the downloaded and processed data

[leaffan]

Currently all downloaded and processed data is stored in flat files. This should change.

Since this is a rather rough requirement this should be refined from my point of view?
I would come up with some points the refinement should cover (from my point of view):

• I would assume we talk about a relational database (most likely MariaDB/MySQL or postgres)
• An additional data layer to gain an abstraction for the database should be added
• How much logic and which parts shall shift to the database (with the implication of unit testing on db level)

I would suggest to write down the findings as an edit to the top post
