As you've heard from others, we generally do not consider 2GB to be VLDB (it
doesn't even fill a corner of most databases.)
But, possibly in your defense ... I prefer the following (unofficial) definition:
A VLDB is any database whose size causes normal maintenance to exceed the time window allocated for such maintenance.
Caveat - this maintenance window mismatch can not be caused by silly management behaviour (such as requiring this to be the 11th instance on a Pentium 450), improper system admin (such as allowing Windows Update to automatically replace core DLLs) or general insanity (such as allowing users to crowd the maintenance window - because they need the report for management tomorrow)
For the 2G database, I strongly encourage using DBCA for a general purpose DB
