Even if it was local, a raspberry pi can handle a query that size.

Edit - honestly, it reeks of a knowledge level that calls the entire PC a "hard drive".

Unless they actually mean the hard drive, and not the computer. I've definitely had a cheap enclosure overheat and drop out on me before when trying to seek the drive a bunch, although it's more likely the enclosure's own electronics overheating. Unless their query was rubbish, a simple database scan/search like that should be fast, and not demanding in the slightest. Doubly so if it's dedicated, and not using some embedded thing like SQLite. A few dozen thousand queries should be basically nothing.
