It seems a bit wrong if you have a 18TB table but no idea what it contains...

It was a temp table that we hadn't garbage collected yet. We don't make a habit of leaving that much junk data around, but it bumped our monthly storage bill several percent, not like tripled it.

Was this a relational or NoSQL DB?

It's primarily in things like Spark and Snowflake that act like relational DBs as long as you squint the right way.
