1209.0. "Looking for large RDB reference site" by SUBURB::TANR () Thu Nov 26 1992 17:35

Hi,

I am working on Data Warehousing space in UK. Some of our potential 
customers have got IBM DB2 and they are looking for a large RDB reference 
site (50 - 100 Gbytes) to convince them that our distributed Data Warehouse
concepts will cope with the amount of information sitting in their IBM 
machines.

	Any help will be appreciated.

    Rose,
    
    Don't forget that when you compare Rdb with DB2, and Rdb database is
    typically between 30 and 50% smaller n size than the corresponding DB2
    database.
    
    I recently got this verified by a DBA who was actively administrating a
    DB2 adn Rdb installtion at the same time (cute, aeh).
    And she was very surprise over the samll requirement Rdb poses on the
    database size.
    
    fwiw
    lars
    
    Ps. I am about to size a production system (backup/restore aso) for a
    15-20Gb database so it is comparable. Unfortunatly the customer is not
    a reference site...
