You can go for speed, by putting all the records into RAM, or very
large capacity, by putting the records on hard disk.

I'd be surprised if you needed more capacity than can be supported
by Appleworks with a 1MB RAMworks-style memory card and AE's Appleworks
"Super Expander" or a later version that increased limits to match the
available RAM.

AUX RAM expander cards are still readily available for //e's.
