OT -- # tables in your db (was: Slow database)

"very complex" at 300 tables.

I checked on mine, excluding SYS and SYSTEM, I have 3185 tables. 159 database links. 1064 views, again excluding SYS and SYSTEM.

This is on Oracle 7.3.4.

I am sure this is not the smallest db out there...

(It's my birthday, so what if I feel a bit competitive today -- let's start a thread).
