Google probably is much bigger, and on mainframes, and probably Oracle or DB2.
Google uses a Linux cluster and there database is HUGE. I do not know which database
they use. I bet they built their own specifically for what they do.

But the table I am worried about is the one sized >= 3.6 GIGA records.

I am designing something that may be the size of yahoo, google, ebay, etc.
Just ONE many to many table could possibly have the following characteristics:
3,600,000,000 records each record is 9 fields of INT4/DATE
Other tables will have about 5 million records of about the same size.
There are lots of scenarios here to lessson this.
BUT, is postgres on linux, maybe necessarily a 64 bit system, cabable of this? And there'd be 4-5 indexes on that table.
Sure. Why not? 3...5mio records is not really a problem. We had bigger tables with historic commercial transactions (even on an old dual PIII/1000) with fine performance. I bet however, yahoo, google at least are much bigger :-)
