Library of Congress comes in at #10 on a list of the ten largest databases. It might be a surprise who is listed as #1 but at the same time, you should take this list with a grain of salt as a lot of these numbers are speculative guesses.
(via DiggieFilter which has some discussion of who might've been missed – everybody from Wal-Mart to CERN.)
[Edit: Actually, from the Digg comments, here's a more accurate list of large databases (PDF) because it's compiled from information the companies submitted themelves. Plus, if you're a nerd-type, it breaks down the sizes based on a bunch of various permutations of how a database might be configured. Geeky-goodness!]
