Re: Choosing a database for a DSS system (40-100G range)

Go with NT + SQL server 7
Balony its not big enough. I have in production several hundred gigabyte systems on SQL 6.5. 7 scales wonderfully. Also DTS in SQL 7 will give you all the tools you need to import your data. TCP-D's don't worry. They are being rewritten at this current time. The optimizer in SQL 7 has been completely rewritten. You will love the product.
if you want to see some large database performance go to http://terraserver.microsoft.com. Received on Thu Nov 05 1998 - 00:00:00 CST
