insignificant when compared to the 1 TB a day (5 PB a year for several
decades) that CERN will be generating for the next generation High
Energy Physics (HEP) experiments (the data is something of the order of
10^17 bytes). CERN will be using an OODB (Objectivity/DB)!

Boy, I'm sorry I missed the earlier post from Mark Rosenbaum on the 21 TB database at Nynex. Mark, if you've got any ideas/solution sets/help with VLDBs I'd be interested in hearing from you (marc.baime_at_telops.gte.com) as we are working on a multi-terabyte database here at GTE as well. These VLDBs pose interesting and unique problems for configuration and tuning. I am interested in anything related to such DBs e.g. how to deal with tuning, disk partitioning, denormalization etc. As for a 21 terabyte DB being insignifigant, I don't know too many DBAs who would agree with that statement.
