World's Largest Databases Ranked

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the cylinder-sizing dept.

prostoalex writes "Winter Corp. has summarized its findings of the annual TopTen competition, where the world's largest and most hard-working (in terms of load) databases are ranked. The results are in, and this year the contestants were ranked on size, data volume, number of rows and peak workload. I wrote up a brief summary of the top three winners in each category for those too lazy to browse the interactive WinterCorp chart."

    Not only does Anonymous say a lot of things and write some music and paint, but he also has one of the world's largest databases.

    Does anyone actually have their porn in a database (of some sort)? I'm curious whether the "porn database" is just a joke or ... hmm, worth implementing! For all I know, there's already a 'porn-o-base' (tm?) collaborative project on sourcefourge that you're all using - after reading slashdot for a bit nothing would surprise me...

    What are the pros and cons to databasing (sp.?) your porn? - except perhaps, reduced chance of getting a girlfriend, and chance of ridicule, obviously...

    Hey, this is the right place to ask ;)

    Something is wrong...

    Here I find a knowledgable person on Slashdot,
    Who has given a well-written response,
    Answered the question without flaming the askee,
    Didn't use numbers/symbols for letters,
    Never slammed MS or SCO,

    And was modded up?
