Thanks Mark for forwarding those e-mails discussing the number of documents people have loaded into a database.
I guess I have already pushed past those test. I currently have a database with a single collection, to which I have added 1.25 million xml documents (totaling 6.5 GB of XML), which gives me a database size of 7.2 GB. I have not encountered any problems yet. My hope is to be able to enter upwards of 15 million documents into a collection. I'm not planning on doing searches or even indexing the collection. I just need a place to store 15 million documents and retrieve them quickly. Currently, we have about 12 million documents spread across 15 directories on a sun machine. It is a pain to find a particular document, as you need to know what directory it is in. Also, doing any sort of directory operations, (ls, df, etc) is quite painful on those directories. When I get some more disk free, and more time, I will be testing more. Thanks, Dan
