I’m a big database guy at heart, a couple of years ago I thought a table containing 5 Billion rows was pretty darn big (especially as I was responsible for it!). But looking at the new implementations those numbers are wholly dwarfed.
Check out this blog about eBays datawarehouse. About all I can say is wow.. How things have moved on in just a couple of years. They are talking petabytes and 17 Trillion rows – for the data mart!!
Stunning!!
