Hi, hypothetically speaking if you have 1TB disk and 256G RAM, how many 50gb table can you load before performance would become a problem...given all things being equal?

Hi thanks for the link, it gives me the correlation between user vs memory (ram, i am assuming). What would be the correlation between Disk space (or RAM) vs table size. For example, in the doc, why only 16 gb is available when 256 RAM is available? I am guessing a lot of overhead for VA, so what's the formula for sizing?

Thanks in advance,

Alex
