Hi Peter,

It depends on which DBMS you are using. For example,

	Access  -  Humongous
        dBASE   -  Very very large
	Sql Sever - Large
	Oracle    - Medium
	Teradata  - Small

Naturally almost no one will agree with my classification scheme.

I suspect that 13GB is more than any of the popular PC data bases can handle and that even many of the low-end server data bases would be hard pressed to properly handle 13GB. That makes a 13GB data base either large or very large.

Regards

Jerry
