 Maybe they should rename the product Petadata.
If they did, then its a good thing that they didn't name it 
"TeraFile".

But if you run it on small server, ie Windows 
2000/XP with less than 1GB memory, Teradata performance is aweful. It hangs from 
time to time and even some simple query takes considerable time, while Oracle 
and Microsoft SQL Server never behave like that.

And they're selling gallon-sized Vlasic pickles. I always wondered who

   I'm pretty confident of one thing -- if they weren't selling, Wal-Mart
would quickly stop selling them at that store. Most people don't think about
it, but Sam Walton figured out a couple of things early on:
  1. If you don't have the item on the shelf, people can't buy it.
  2. Hire a smart computer systems manager.
  3. Your control of your own data is a competitive weapon.
The system they created was flexible enough to be expanded to many, many
stores.
In his book Sam Walton: Made in America, Sam lavishes praise on his
systems people. The Kmart leadership, on the other hand, was often quoted in
the press about how they were able to reduce their I.T. expense.

 Okay, now you've done it. Bear in mind that I grew up about 100 miles

from Bentonville. 

 Yew fancy-schmancy city slickers just don't know what good eatin is. Get

a couple of your buddies, their coon dawgs, copius quantities of beer, and

just relax in the back yard, drinking, eatin pickles, and shooting anything

that comes to mind.

 Sorry, that is the best I can do on the spur of the moment.

by 
definition, their product is a combination of software/hardware. Their hardware 
runs an NCR flavor of Unix, has specific disk farms, and has a specialized piece 
of hardware/software for the BY-NET(their version of the interconnect). you 
combine their nodes into cliques (4 nodes to a clique), and bolt multiple 
Cliques together.. Their RDBMS is embedded with the hardware as well.. Usually 
don't purchase just the software - it's a package (hardware and software)... The 
hardware can run Windoze, but the ability to plug in the multiple nodes together 
as a shared nothing infrastructure works best with their Unix OS on their wintel 
hardware. 

oh well

  But if you run it on small server, ie Windows 
  2000/XP with less than 1GB memory, Teradata performance is aweful. It hangs 
  from time to time and even some simple query takes considerable time, while 
  Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server never behave like that.

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 ratherexpensive stuff. They provide specific 
hardware along with the software. So they would be a Hardware/Software 
vendor

Jonathan is correct - WalMart uses Teradata.

 Maybe they should rename the product Petadata.
If they did, then its a good thing that they didn't name it 
"TeraFile".
