IMHO the size of the DB is less relevant than the query workload. For
example, if you're storying 100GB of data but only doing a single
index scan on it every 10 seconds, any modern machine with enough HD
space should be fine.
I agree that the workload is likely to be the main issue in most
Hi,
I have done some performance tests on 1Gb and 4 Gb Databases on a mono

Could anybody tell me that our hardware is an issue or not?
