Don't feel so bad Arthur. I have rarely (if ever) dealt with a database, (here at work), that was larger than 250 Mega-Bytes. Alan C. Lawhon -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Arthur Fuller Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 8:59 AM To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Big Databases 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.
