I recently attended and Oracle training by Tom Kyte and he said (partially joking though) that a database is only large when the size is measured in terrabytes :)

So really, really large would mean something like 100 petabytes

My personal opinion is that a "large" database has more than ~10 million rows in more than ~10 tables.
