Kis writes "Dear Sir os Madam,

I'm a student of The University of Pécs(Hungary) and we have got an excersise to find the biggest database in the world. I have found that France Telecom is the biggest among publicly known ones, but I have heard that Microsoft SQL databases are bigger.
So I would like to ask you to send me the name and size of the biggest one as soon as you can because the first one gets the highest points for it and I also need an address, on which my tutor can check whether this information is real and is not my brainchild.

Thanks a lot: Bernadett Kis"

I think it's pretty cool...go write your own queries against their catalog..

sql injection indeed....


EDIT: Nope...they changed that...not so free wheeling anymore..

Still cool and awesome concept...
