I would call it small. Quite frankly not significantly larger than the database on the notebook I use for teaching at the U which is 10GB.

These days medium equates to TB, large to tens or hundreds of TB. And the definition of very large, IIRC, around 500TB. At least 3 I know of now exceed 1.5 Peta.
