What do you mean, warehousing? Like, item tracking inside an actual warehouse? Hard to imagine spending more than a kB per unique item -- more per SKU, but less per individual object -- so even if you have 1M items being tracked, the total size would only be a gigabyte. Even if you had a billion unique things in your store, the resulting database would still fit on a single flash drive.
