    According to me,,,

    Yahoo and Google both are brothers. The thing is that one is younger and another is elder,,,,

    And, I am also last younger brother of both. They said me that they have around 1.1 MB size database and they are using RDB ( Rampal Database ).

    It appreciate if all can start use RDB database. Actually, that database created by my brother Yahoo ! and Google and they live it by my name,,,

    Have a fun ,,,,, Guys,,,,,

    Finally, the thing is proved that database size is 10 MB.

    Great going Jack good working,,,,
