If I may suggest, from your description of the scale I think you need a
proper programing language with real data structures.  Tables are after
all a convenience (they are human readable).  I would suggest you try
Python or R.  You could input your data as org tables, process them with
source blocks, and finally output the accumulated results as tables
again.

Babel should be able to do something like this.  If you do work out a
solution, it would be great if you share it on the list (maybe a Worg
article?).
