Re: List of largest DBs in the world?

it was 29,000 GBs, which is 29 TB, which is not the largest. one of the guys on this list works on the stanford atom smasher and they had 700 TB a couple of years ago. The biggest ones are probably classified and ones that don't use off the shelf dbs(ie google).

curious how they determine 'peak load'. I don't think transaction is a good measure for this. since a transaction in one system could be 8 DML statements and in another it could be 1.
