Someone has undoubtedly published the numbers somewhere ... but they will be highly inaccurate for many reasons. First and most obviously by the fact that vendors don't license by database size so they really don't know. Second because companies and government organizations often consider such information proprietary and either refuse to give it out or just make things up to impress their audience.

My database? Heck I've got ten bazillion gazigabytes. And that's just in DEV.
