   Hi,
   last week i had training on SAP and IBM UDB database. In this lessen i heared about a custumer which will have a SAP BW > 100 TB!
   So i am not sure if oracle drives the largest database.

   The largest Table i ever heard was at the Dutsche Bank (DB2/OS390) with 499,000,000 Rows.

   Regards
   Carl

    I assure you that many Oracle tables are well above the 499m mark you provided. I worked for a small software company with sevaral 900m+ tables, easily in the trillions by now.

    Largest database would be the Stanford Linear Accelerator, which in 2003 had over 800 TB. not sure how big it is now as the platform (Teradata) did not participate in the 2005 Winter awards that this story references. They were number 1 in the 2003 awards though under Database Size Hybrid (total size of query accessible on all media)
