Ask HN: How many database queries are running in the world right now?

Can we estimate at least the order of magnitude of that?

It depends, what you define as database. is it only the SORs (Statement of Records) or everything from Cache, KV store to RDBMS? Let's just say everything, I believe it would be in range of 300-500 trillion queries every day.
