Thread: Survey of large databases
I ran across this link, it's a list of "the worlds largest databases". http://www.wintercorp.com/vldb/2003_TopTen_Survey/TopTenWinners.asp Now, according to our FAQ, somebody out there has a 32 TB database, so ISTM we ought to be able to get PostgreSQL added to this list. I looked over the qualifications, and the only stickler I see is that it must be a "commercial implementation", which seems a little vague, but I think we have a few foreign telecoms using PostgreSQL in a commercial setting that would qualify for this. Here's the full requirements in case anyone is interested in following up (since none of my implementations are quite that large... yet :) ) http://www.wintercorp.com/VLDB/2003_TopTen_Survey/TopTenProgram.html Robert Treat -- Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL

So until we do, we can't use that one. I'm trying to contact these guys. They work down the road. I'm getting the distinct impression, however, that they don't want to be contacted. Gavin
