In pursuing a government solicitation (AFCAC Project 305 - Database Machines),
I am trying to relocate references for large installed databases.  If you have
specific knowledge of such, please either reply directly to my E-Mail address
or to this newsgroup and I will try to compile and publish the responses.

Information of particular interesting:

1) The total amount of direct access disk storage (bytes) available on the
   system.

2) The amount of direct access disk storage allocated to the DBMS.

3) The database management system in use at the time.

4) Type of information stored in the database.

5) Nature of usage (query only, OLTP, etc.)

6) The name of the company or agency.
