According to a survey conducted by The Winter Corporation, the three largest databases in the world that run on Windows are all owned by comScore Networks. First place goes to their 8.9 TB database; second goes to their 8.3 TB database. Third place goes to their 7.3 TB database. All of them run on Sybase's ASE. All of them are used for consumer analysis. This data is fed into various web sites, and comScore reported 20 million hits against one db in January 2005. comScore clients include AOL, Bank of America, Best Buy, Dell, Microsoft, Nestle, the US Postal Service and Verizon. I feel firmly put in my place. I have never even cracked the 1 TB ceiling! Arthur P.S.
