- Yikes, it seems like my posts are glitch prone these days, should have
- rechecked myself. I still don't like the idea of a 15GB table given the
- processor power of boxes these days. Would be problematic ( take days )
- to bring up the clustered index/ backup the database / update stats /dbcc.
- So I still say no. The 2-5 GB range is the happy limit for a table with a
- HP 730 / SPARC 10 type box.
