I am leading a development effort that will result in a multi-billion row database, on the order of 400GB. About 80% of this database could properly reside in a single partitioned table, each row being fairly small. There is some contention within our organization as to whether to implement this as a completely relational database (using Oracle 8), or to implement the largest table as flat files and use Oracle as a front end for accessing these data. Does anyone have experience with this type of problem? Have you had success with either of these approaches, or is there another, better, candidate? Received on Tue Mar 24 1998 - 00:00:00 CET
