If You Had Data Like We've Got Data ...

The size of the event data from various physics experiments will be measured in petabytes. We currently have one database, no its not in Oracle, well above 150 terabytes. The data needs to accessed by collaborators around the world. There is a study being done by the Particle Physics Data Group on using the computer grid concept to do so. They want to use LDAP; i.e., Oracle Internet Directory, to control access. This would be a directory of million distinguished names. Does anyone know if OID will scale this large. Any machine recommendations?

Thanks
