Very large database
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A very large database, or VLDB, is a database that contains an extremely high number of tuples (database rows), or occupies an extremely large physical filesystem storage space. The most common definition of VLDB is a database that occupies more than 1 terabyte or contains several billion rows.
In database research, VLDB commonly refers to the non-profit VLDB Endowment and its annual research conference. The mission of VLDB is to promote and exchange scholarly work in databases and related fields throughout the world. The VLDB conference began in 1975 and is closely associated with SIGMOD and SIGKDD.
