Hello every body

i am doing a research about high volume database treatment (maybe a database with tera bytes volume) , so is there any optimization or specialization for queries deal with such database? !!

Yo most likely will have to deal with horizontal partitioning.

thanx for your attention , yes the horizontal partitioning is a solution for the problem but it is a administrator solution , and what i mean that is there any client special processing or query optimization when he makes queries deal with such database ?

Well designed indexes.
Working with as small datasets as possible.

When you are dealing with tera data and the performance is important:

There are quick a few factors involved here:
* is this for OLTP (seconds)
* is this for Data Warehouse/data mining type (days,hours or minutes)

Then you need to know a bit about:
* disk storage and IO performance
* table/partition layout
* is parallel processing needed (multiple cpu) machine size etc
* then the indexing
* database design and data model etc

I think there are as many questions as answers.

I want some actual case study that illustrates the size of SQL Server 2000 i.e. its maximum capacity. it could be an example of some actual organization.
Also i have observed at one of our client that when database reaches to the size of 2 GB, the searching becomes very slow on it and application runs in slow pace. i want some supporting points in this regard because have to convince client for some updation process.
