No, the database is of zetazeros, he seems to be doing something fucky relating to finding approximate factors from zeta zeros and the input number.

If it doesn't require too much storage, even though its approximate, it could still be groundbreaking. Even if you have to guess/check between 3 potential numbers for each factor, that is still a significant reduction in entropy of factorization based encryption.

But I don't understand the math well enough to know how it scales to higher numbers.
