Eddie Awad’s Blog: The world’s largest database runs Oracle

  • Matt Topper · 4 years ago

    Google actually wrote their own database for their servers. Its an awesome cluster, I'll email you a doc I have on it. Talk about true grid computing.

    Its actually more of a custom file system than a database.

    I got the Google doc Matt. Thanks. Now I'll go read it...

    Hi,
    last week i had training on SAP and IBM UDB database. In this lessen i heared about a custumer which will have a SAP BW > 100 TB!
    So i am not sure if oracle drives the largest database.


    The largest Table i ever heard was at the Dutsche Bank (DB2/OS390) with 499,000,000 Rows.


    Regards
    Carl

    Interesting. Sometime ago I read in New York Times that Pentagon has the biggest database in the world followed by Walmart.

    Actually, DataTree which is a subsidiary of The First American Corporation, a Fortune 500 company dealing with Real Estate services, has the largest database in the world. Not sure what DB they're running but it is 210 Terabytes of information :)

    I assure you that many Oracle tables are well above the 499m mark you provided. I worked for a small software company with sevaral 900m+ tables, easily in the trillions by now.

    Largest database would be the Stanford Linear Accelerator, which in 2003 had over 800 TB. not sure how big it is now as the platform (Teradata) did not participate in the 2005 Winter awards that this story references. They were number 1 in the 2003 awards though under Database Size Hybrid (total size of query accessible on all media)
