interesting oracle JD Edwards database size and export size comparison

So exports don’t contain indexes, so they are going to be much smaller than the entire database.

I have a site with 15GB of indexes, 12GB of data and the export file is only 6.2GB.  if I use compress on the export file, it comes down to 515MB!!!

So, a 27GB enterprise class database when exported and compressed comes down to 515MB! 

You can’t tell me that the future of computing power won’t have a database like this running in memory off a computer the size of a thumb drive!
