In pursuing a government solicitation (AFCAC Project 305 - Database Machines), I am trying to relocate references for large installed databases. If you have specific knowledge of such, please either reply directly to my E-Mail address or to this newsgroup and I will try to compile and publish the responses. Information of particular interesting: 1) The total amount of direct access disk storage (bytes) available on the system. 2) The amount of direct access disk storage allocated to the DBMS. 3) The database management system in use at the time. 4) Type of information stored in the database. 5) Nature of usage (query only, OLTP, etc.) 6) The name of the company or agency.

One is the population system for the Ministry of the Interior in Thailand (MOI). All 65 million Thai citizens are in the system along with household registration data. Other sorts of demographic information is also included in the rdbms. The single dual cpu system that supports this system is configured with about 65GB of disk, of which the database uses about 20GB. The RDBMS product used in named IM/DM, a Control Data name given to the BASISplus product developed at Battelle Labs and now marketed by Information Dimensions Inc. Access to the RDBMS is via 300 on-line terminals that do both query and update. Graphic (pictures) are also stored in the database. If you would like more information on this large database or other Control Data (large) dbms users, please contact me.
