VLDB - Very Large Data Base

Today I was interested in VLDB abbriviation.
(Very Large DataBase) An extremely large database. What constitutes a VLDB is debatable, but databases of 100GB or more are generally considered the starting point. A VLDB is also measured by the number of transactions per second and the type of complex queries that it can support.

Tuple - (1) In a relational database, a tuple is one record (one row).

(2) A set of values passed from one programming language to another application program or to a system program such as the operating system. Typically separated by commas, the values may be parameters for a function call or a set of data values for a database.


In database research, VLDB commonly refers to the non-profit VLDB Endowment and its annual research conference, International Conference on Very Large Data Bases.

VLDB is a premier annual international forum for data management and database researchers, vendors, practitioners, application developers, and users.

2009 conference was in Lyon.

2010 will be in Singapore (http://www.vldb2010.org/)


Conference seems to be quite interesting. And I'd like to go to Singapore.
