I am looking for very large databases > 10 megabytes (raw
data) for use as input to some example queries, in a project I am
involved with. I am aware of databases such as the Wisconsin database
for benchmarking, but I would like some real data (mixed numeric and
aplhabetic) preferably interesting or amusing :-). That I can try
some of our queries on.
On site we have Ingres on Suns, Vax and Oracle on the Apple
Macintosh, exports from these or simple delimited fields will do. We
can read any of the following but obtaining it via FTP would be
better: Sun cartridge, exabyte cartridge, PC discs, Mac discs, Mag
Tapes.
If anybody out there has any ideas of where I might try to
obtain something like this in machine readable form I would be very
grateful to hear from you.
thanks, Greg!

Box 9707 Are you asking for books that specially deal with VERY large databases, or with databases in general? What is the definition of VERY large? There are a series of annual conferences called Very Large Data Bases, but the papers that are presented deal with general database issues. =+Tamer -- M.
