You should check out both the VLDB users group at Oracle, which you can contact through your sales rep, and the MOSES group. MOSES is something like Massive Open Systems blah blah, and is a group of Oracle, Sequent, and their users dealing with very large databases and system management issues. They can be reached through Oracle or Sequent. I think their charter is to develop standards and procedures for dealing with VLDB, as a community worried that this kind of stuff will get dominated by Unicenter and other such mainframe baggage rather than open systems offerings.

Hope this helps,
