How do you explain that it has 2 billion user records?

> And the "cabinet" means hosting cabinets (steel frames holding the machines).

This sounds totally implausible, given:

> there's another DB in the Oracle server we're in, it's called "cabinet cloud" and it's 34GB in total

Why would you name a database after the kind of furniture housing your computers?

They are records with user info, which are different from user records. Mostly likely just user activities.

Cabinet = jigui in Chinese. It looks like something for operation tracking. Just look at the table names.
