I wonder what a really large ORACLE database is nowadays? Largest I've worked with was well over 1.5Tb (V8.0), but I've heard of much larger ones.

They keep growing at an alarming rate. In the days of VMS, large was a few Gbs. With V7 in Unix, the largest I saw was around 600Gb.

It all is relative, I know. Sometimes a small database can be as challenging as a large one, it all depends on the "iron" being used. But some are true "monsters".
