I realized at some point that asking about what large installs of something exist is pretty pointless... given enough effort you can make almost anything scale. As an example, there's a cable company with a MySQL database that's nearly 1TB... if that's not proof you can make anything scale, I don't know what is. ;) What people really need to ask about is how hard it is to make something work, and how many problems you're likely to keep encountering. -- Jim C.
