391.0. "Maximum supportable database sizes ?" by LARVAE::TARZEY (Bob Tarzey, UK GRAC) Thu Jul 20 1989 17:10

        
        I have been asked to evaluate various database management systems 
        with particular reference to the maximum size of database that 
        the various products will support. I have all the information 
        concerning Rdb in this area but would like more information on 
        third party products. There seem to be two factors which may 
        constrain database size:
        
        1. The time it takes to back the database up
        
        2. Whether or not database tables can be spread over more than 
           one disk
        
        The customer concerned has expressed interest in both VMS and 
        Ultrix systems. Is any one able to comment the size of database 
        supported by Oracle, Ingres, Informix etc. on either operating 
        system, taking into account the above two considerations. All 
        comments gratefully received.
