Here at UMich our prdb and vldb are 92 and 46M respectively. We (in recent memory, though I've only been here a year) pretty much just don't notice. I don't remember off-hand all the details, but the ubik protocol the database things are built on sends out and commits individual transactions, so you're not always shoving around the entire database. How a machine catches up after it has been off for a while I don't know --- if it sees it is behind and grabs the whole thing or grabs only the stuff to bring it up to date or some combination of which I'm not sure. -- Thomas L.
