One of my systems has a database with c1.5 billion records, all small records though. Looking at it is on my list but as it's working well at the moment it's not a priority....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
