I know how to create small data driven websites but want to get an idea on how to convert them to handle large data flow.

The questions are based on a site that would act mostly like stack overflow, craigslist etc where people could post stuff and others reply and would have basic search capabilities based on tags.

  1. Are regular relational databases like SQL server, Oracle etc strong enough to support a lot of data read and writes?

  3. Are there any general design rules or problems that need to be taken into account when creating mid to large level applications?
