Spotlight on SQL Server: Key Findings From the 2005 WinterCorp TopTen Program

Overview The WinterCorp TopTen Program is a periodic survey to determine the largest and most heavily used databases in the world. This paper examines results of the 2005 TopTen Program, which include 175 validated survey responses - with a particular focus on the 43 validated responses submitted by SQL Server users. The results of the 2005 WinterCorp TopTen survey reinforce the theme of previous WinterCorp research - large databases are growing and will continue to grow. The largest database in the survey has grown exponentially, having tripled in size every two years since 2001. The 2005 results reveal significant strengths for Microsoft SQL Server in the very large database (VLDB) market for both data warehouse (DW) and transaction processing (OLTP) systems.
