Content to be added to Article

There is some content to be added to the article. Some are waiting simply to link cites in the references above in a suitable manner.

Performance

• Performance issues in VLDBs will also be applicable and solutions will useful for sub-VLDBs, but for VLDB the issues are more pronounced.

Objects

• In a typically VLDB only a small proportion of the objects are likely to contribute to the VLDB. In in content store database these may relate to documents store in or without the database. Sometimes they will relate to transactional tables like a Bank online system where there will be a large number of financial transactions (that can be archived and retained after a suitable period of months).
