Thanks, CB.
Just as 'tens of' means 'dozens of', 20 to 90 gigabyte database and 10 to 100 gigabyte database are about the same in general, right?

It may depend on how the databases are built-- if they are built in decimal units only (20, 20, 40), 'dozens' wouldn't sound quite right; if they are composed of any number of gigabytes (35, 42, etc), then 'dozens' is a more natural choice.
