I was sent this question, so I answered as you can see below:

I liked today's post and it brought up a question. What is the largest database you have seen or heard of in the SQL Server 2005 product line? My current client is working with a 10-15TB size and I'm sure that is not the largest going. It would be nice to have some numbers to provide them to ease their concern. Anything you could add would be great.

Thanks,

Well, I've seen 64 TB as a large database, but I'm sure the marketing folks and the CATT team know of bigger than that. It also depends on what you mean by "large", since that can include DB size, transactions per second, uptime, number of processors or servers and so on.

Great question though - and this might help:
