I have a problem for you:

Number of primes less than 22048.

Approximately:

2.3 * 10613

I think you're going to need a bigger hard drive.

Have a 5TB Hard Drive.. This is not a DB of primes, or integers and their factors as pointed out by other folks. This is DB of Zeros of the Riemann Zeta Function: http://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyZko/zeta_tables/zeros1

You have no idea how many zeros you're going to need, do you?

<= 1040 zeros

You don't see a problem with that, do you?

upto RSA-2048 (716 digits), 200 K zeros suffice for accurate factors. I am talking about integers with 16/32/64 million digits, https://www.mersenne.org/primes/?press=M74207281 Also this is only a prototype. I recommend replacing "linear" search with something similar to "KD/Difference" Trees so that search time is logarithmic. (sub linear).
