Hi David,

Hi, Nurullah. You say that you spread the database over a bunch of machines. Does that mean you're running multiple Derby instances, each embedded into a process running on a different machine? Or do you have one Derby instance that holds a 20gb table?

i have a 20 gb table with over 100 million rows thats growing 1 million rows per day. i think it depends on what you trying to achieve my application distributes a big database over a bunch of machines so running a separate heavy server process was causing me problems and switching derby saved a lot of resources and application is much faster. but i am sure there is some body else's application that will be much faster under DB2 or oracle.

Hi,

Is there a limit on the number of rows a table can hold?
I am planning on using derby as the RDBMS for a system that will require tables to hold billions of rows.

Thanks, Tim
