Hi,

        I am working on a database that has 21gig of data and 26 gig of indexes. Some of my indexes are 2 gig. and some tables are 4 gig. I will add some new functionality soon which means that my 50 gig database per year might be as large as 75 or 100 gig per year. We have a one year old database and are just learning what problems you will encounter. Temp tablespaces must be large, exports will run days. imports will run weeks. Cold backups are a blessing but I would say for you to use and oracle backup at least once a month or periodicaly as time permits. my most recent problem is running a full export that is larger than one tape. The database is fast but administation is a nightmare.

        I would like to see other peoples comments.
