And the Biggest Database in the World Is...

Survey Ranks Top Ten Biggest, Most Popular Databases: Let’s try to do an import of one of these databases into Microsoft Access.

Taking home the prize for largest database size for all OS environments and Unix, for the DSS portion was France Telecom boasting 29.2TB. France Telecom uses Oracle Corp. as its DBMS, Hewlett-Packard Co. as its storage and system vendor, and employs an SMP (symbol manipulation program) architecture.

In the Windows comparison for database size, ComScore Networks Inc. came in first with 8.9TB for its database. ComScore relies upon Sybase and its Sybase IQ offering as its DBMS, Dell for its systems, and EMC as its storage provider in a clustered architecture. In 2001, ComScore finished on top in the same category with only 1.5TB.

Oh my god, its the freaking Domain Name System (DNS).... the database that matches website names to actual IP addresses. It is the largest distributed database in the world, administered by thousands of DNS servers and millions of people. Everytime you type in a website address, it queries the local DNS server for the IP address, if that server doesnt know, it queries the next one above it, and so forth and so forth until it finds a DNS server that knows the IP address of a particular website.
