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?

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 :) -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Arthur Fuller Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 4:05 PM To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [dba-SQLServer]World's Largest Databases 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. http://databases.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://wintercorp .com/VLDB/2003%5FTopTen%5FSurvey/TopTenProgram.html Arthur _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com
