It may
be a little late for your needs but I am attending a meeting in London (Oct1  5th) about this very thing. Apparently (and I was blissfully unaware of this) we run a large-ish (about 70Gb) SQL*Server database for a major communications company and where costs prohibit the use of Oracle we may see this as a strategy for the future also, not sure about the parallel server side of things but I'm sure this will come up in the debate.

I can
let you know on my return what the general feeling was (if its not too late) but I would also be grateful to be included on any replies to your original question.

  Hello everyone,
  Any of you using SQL*Server on fairly large databases?   If so please email me directly.
  I have a consulting company telling me they can run a   500GB+ database on SQL*Server with no problems and I'm pretty skeptical.    What's the largest implementation of SQL*Server you've seen? Does SQL*Server   have parallel server functionality?
