It reminds me of a warehouse we were building in Oracle. Some of the SQL-Server boys in the company were all impressed with their large 25GB SQL-Server database - until I "casually" mentioned to them one day that I had to bump up my temp space in Oracle to 25GB in order to process all the data in the largest fact table (recent additions to the fact table had us running out of temp space)... :-)

Just imagine what a VLDB will be like 25 years from now...
