abstract = {We illustrate the benefits of combining database systems and grid technologies for data-intensive applications. Using a cluster of SQL servers, we reimplemented an existing grid application that finds galaxy clusters in a large astronomical database. The database implementation runs an order of magnitude faster than the earlier Tcl-C-file-based implementation on a Terabyte Analysis Machine (TAM). We discuss why and how the Grid can take advantage of databases systems.},
