What would the attribute columns consist of? My experience has been with named columns defined individually by humans, of which I've never seen more than a few hundred; how do you get tens of thousands? Are they a different kind of thing?

Most companies who do it purely by humans can easily get into the thousands of attributes. Have seen it many times before where you hit the column limit of a SQL database.

But where you get into tens/hundreds of thousands is when you have machine learning models automatically selecting and storing important features from the data.
