extreme parallelism:-)   A share-nothing architecture. and some specific software that takes advantage of a hardware configuration..   It's pretty cool stuff for the high end in size DB's. I have seen/performed several comparisons.. And when you are spinning thru large result sets (millions of rows) - TD was the winner hands down...   And it's rather expensive stuff.  They provide specific hardware along with the software. So they would be a Hardware/Software vendor   Jonathan is correct - WalMart uses Teradata.       -----Original Message----- From: Ryan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 7:09 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: Re[2]: http://www.wintercorp.com/vldb/2003_TopTen_Survey/TopTenWinners.a sp so what features does teradata have that oracle doesnt for VLDBs? ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Drake To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 6:59 PM Subject: Re: Re[2]: http://www.wintercorp.com/vldb/2003_TopTen_Survey/TopTenWinners.a sp > Maybe they should rename the product Petadata.

I never hear that dbms mentioned. Isn't Teradata what Walmart uses? From what I know, it's always been aimed at the market for really, really big databases. Hence the prefix "tera", which isn't so big anymore. Maybe they should rename the product Petadata.
