I'm sure you're right, but when Larry and Bill play poker, I bet they compare database sizes to see who has the biggest.

These numbers are fun to talk about, but really, the software capabilities on both accounts far exceed the reasonable functionality of today's typical hardware. Consider a circumstance of an HP-UX server with vxfs, I wouldn't want a 128 GB filesystem, much less a single 128 GB datafile (and forget about backing up petabytes of data, Veritas, a 40+ unit tape library with Ultrium drives and gigabit network struggle with the 4 or 5 TBs we have today).
