[dba-SQLServer]World's Largest Databases

I don't think you read the numbers correctly, Robert, or perhaps I
didn't, but I took them as 6.9 K GB (i.e. TB) not 6.9 GB. Hell, I've got
lots of databases bigger than 7GB that's NUTHIN. Why on earth would one
use a Terabyte box for 6.9GB, when any dumbass PC can handle 20 times
that?

Interesting...I guess we don't advertise our sizes to this Winter Corp.,
because we'd have beaten everyone on the list on both OLTP and DSS
implementations.  Our average OLTP db size is 6.9GB and the largest OLTP
db is 42.7GB, while the largest DSS db is 60.9GB and the average DSS is
20.47GB.  Mind you that all these db's are on SQL Server and I am not
even mentioning Oracle and DB2 installs that have much larger databases.
We're currently working on taking 400GB+ Oracle db for a parallel
implementation in SQL Server (don't ask why, many things are better be
left unknown here :)

I came across this URL and thought to share it. Now I feel that I have
never even come close to a large database :-) Watch for wrap.
