System for text acquisition, transformation and/or database load

A text acquisition system that comprises:

• a character stream application module;
• a parallel property bit stream module;
• an analysis module;
• a character stream generator;
• and
• a database;
• wherein:
• the character stream application module applies a character stream received from the text acquisition system as input to the parallel property bit stream module;
• the parallel property bit stream module forms a plurality of parallel property bit streams wherein each of the parallel property bit streams comprises bit values of a particular property associated with data values of the character stream;
• the analysis module processes the parallel property bit streams and outputs one or more parallel property data streams;
• and
• in response to the one or more parallel property data streams, the character stream generator generates an output character stream, and applies it as input to the database.
