Seems you are drawing conclusions with inaccurate information, a few snips are below to support my point. Of note, I am not suggesting that approaching these limits is practical. But with lots of memory and current top-end hardware, perhaps it would be. Or maybe you should be using Amazon RDS.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Relational_Database_Service

Both UltraRecall and Smereka use Sqlite as a database.

a maximum SQLite database size of about 140 terabytes.

The physical size limit is 2 terabytes
We’ve successfully tested (and several users report using) databases upwards of 5GB

the maximum NTFS file size is 16 TB minus 64 kB or 17,592,185,978,880 bytes.
