Don't assume that all
vegetarians support PETA.  It's not a one-to-one relationship......  ;-)

      In theory, Oracle can handle 512 Picobytes (or roughly 
      512,000 Terabytes) for Oracle 8i.  
      Have not heard if this has been increased for 9i.

      One of the smaller Physics projects, GLAST (Gamma-ray 
      Large Area Space Telescope) is looking at  storing their data in 
      Oracle.  The bulk of thge data will be a sky map of individual 
      photons, about 20 terabytes, acquired at a rate of about 1 TB a 
      year.  What size is the largest Oracle database at present?  I 
      believe Oracle should be able to handle this, but I'd like to know if 
      anyone has approached this size.  I hear rumors of Oracle databases 
      of hundreds of  terabytes at the CIA, but I have no way to confirm 
      them.

      Offtopic 
      I wrote a little while ago about CERN considering Oracle 
      for LHC project, and  needing a petabyte database.  It turns out 
      that the number was incorrect.  The petabyte that was tossed around a 
      few years ago would be for online and secondary storage only.  I 
      don't know their needs for tertiary storage, but our little project here , 
      called Babar, which is expected to store half a petabyte of data in online 
      and nearline storage  is sized to 300 petabytes when tertiary storage 
      is included.  The 0.5 petabytes for online and nearline will probably 
      be upped. If LHC has the same relationship between tertiary and  
      online/nearline storage, then they will need something which can handle 
      about 600 petabytes.  Last week I attended a meeting on a project 
      called SuperBabar.  Data estimates of size  for that one are one 
      exabyte.  I'm sure there are others  in the works which will 
      make SuperBabar look tiny.  The mind boggles.
      Babar is not in Oracle and I don't expect SuperBabar will 
      be either.
