Hi, List!
Some times ago in this list was discussed next question: Which databases are
small and which are large?
The answer was:
1-2 GB - small
50 and around - large
As I think, hundreds of GB and more - very large (VLDB).
How Postgres works with VLDB? And what about speed? Can I expect that
postgres works with VLDB not worse that commertial DBMS (DB2, Oracle,
Informix). Maybe someone have a comparision results of Postgres, DB2, Oracle
and Informix (or postgres and any of commertial DBMS) when this DBMS manage
with VLDB? I will VERY, VERY respect to that man for the information...
My organisation plans to use GIS based on PostGIS/Postgres. As we think,
size of our database can be 50, 100 and more Gb.
Thanks in advance!
Sergey Karin
