Well(a cohort of mine on this list and) I worked with a 3terabyte(3000 gig)
db before the project was dunked.
It was interesting to say the least playing with that much data.
it was to be an ODS and i played the dba role and the other guy(you know who
you are) played the developer role, he discovered some kewl stuff in
dealing with hash partitions and how to determine the hash key beforehand,
so that we could load millions of rows via sql*loader direct path into a
specific partition.
