Default Large databases - 12-06-2003 , 06:57 AM






Hi!

I have visited a page
<http://www.slac.stanford.edu/BFROOT/www/Public/Computing/Databases/>
where they use an OODBMS to handle a very large amount of data:
<qoute>
This database is arguably the largest in the world: as of Sat Dec 6
00:01:11 2003, over 895.0 TB has been stored in 847149 files.
</qoute>

Impressive!
Now I am wondering how large databases can RDBMS and ORDBMS handle?

I am greatful for answers/links to information.

The biggest database had a size just over 29.2 TB.
Anyone that knows about a larger RDBMS?
