Holy crap dude, 4.5GB!? How the fuck do you upload that jawn!? Mine's only roughly 300MB...I dump it through Shell, how do YOU do it?!
The database includes: Address database of the UK, containing over 27 million addresses So I wouldn't be suprised of the size
Well a site I admin for has a 2GB database and that's BEFORE the dump. A dump would produce a nearly 4GB sql file.
15 gigs last time I checked. Over 60k members, 2,000,000+ forum post, 20,000,000+ messages...so on and so on lol. It's a teen site and they love to talk I guess.
120+ Gig single database (11 tables) data collected every month on transaction server and burned to DVD at end of the month and also archived by month onto another server. Second server is used primarily for fast searches, aggregated reporting and statistics generation. Postgres is what I use of both servers.
