[itdiscuss] CiviCRM database size

[Dayron Daugherty]

I'm in the process of setting up a Drupal\CiviCRM application (MySQL DB)
that has the potential of having many many records. 

I've tested importing about 500,000 contact records and the database is
now roughly 500MB. 

I'm going to test adding all those contacts email addresses as user
names. 

I know it doesn't work exactly like this in database land, but for
projection sake I estimate that will increase the DB to near 1GB. 

This DB is sitting on a 20GB dedicated drive. All temp table operations
have another 15GB partition they process on. 

I have a couple of people concerned about there being "only 20GB" for
the database. 

I've tried to explain that's plenty plus we can dynamically expand it if
needed. 

 

All that to ask is anyone else out there using Drupal\CiviCRM or CiviCRM
standalone?

I'd like to know your insights on CiviCRM database growth compared to
number of records etc.
