- * UNIX DATABASE SURVEY *
-
- My company maintains serveral large UNIFY databases.
- As such, the database product we use must allow
- for such sizes without too many negative side effects.
-
- Many if not all of the UNIX-BASED Database
- products we've looked at claim that their development is
- geared toward large databases, BUT how large is LARGE.
-
- In an effort to determine a current WORKING DEFINITION of LARGE,
- I'm collecting info on currently running large databases
- that are AT LEAST 800 MegaBytes in size. This definition pertains
- strictly to the actual size of the database file alone IN BYTES
- {not indexes}.
-
- TO PARTICIPATE:
- fire-off a one line mailer consisting of the following:
-
- [machine type :: OS version :: database :: database release:: FILE SIZE]
-
- MULTI-VOLUME
- Please indicate if you are utilizing multi-volume distribution on
- several disks by adding up the volumes and appending [MV::n]
- where n == the number of volumes, to the end of the mailer line above.

- If you have already mailed per my last request, please
- remail. To few people followed the format above and therfore
- made it difficult to use the data.
- I will summarize and REPOST results to this GROUP.
