It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). , both OLTP Sites by Database Size, and by Most Rows/Records. The survey also found that the world's largest transaction processing database on UNIX runs Oracle Database, with more than 5.0 terabytes of data. Worldwide, Oracle customers run three of the top 10 OLTP databases on Windows; the largest manages 3.2 terabytes of data. In addition, Oracle Collaboration Suite An integrated package of applications from Oracle that provides common searching, directory services, single sign-on and authentication for e-mail, voicemail, calendaring and file management content. Email Server See mail server. handles more than 2.2 terabytes of data. The survey identifies the world's leading database implementations based on Database Size and Most Rows/Records. As part of the rigorous survey process, respondents must have a validated database size that meets the survey's requirements. Winter surveyed Oracle customers from 20 countries on five continents, in industries from telecommunications and government, to healthcare and banking. In all, Oracle customers made up approximately 50 percent (70 of 141) of the validated Winter TopTen Program respondents. All customer respondents were required to complete the Winter TopTen Program survey and validate their entry by running the SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. Validation Script against their production system. The SQL Script Validation output must report a database size greater than one terabyte for UNIX/Mainframe and greater than 500GB for Windows to be accepted by Winter Corporation. Winter Corporation defines database size as user data plus indices.
