Re: Informix and Oracle benchmarks ?

Check out the tpc benchmark (www.tpc.org ??). But benchmarks at this level are a total waste of time, IMHO. If a company can tune their kit to beat the current test leader they'll submit a result otherwise they don't bother. What is probably more relevant it how the tests are done and the database operations breakdown that constitute the tests. From this it's straightforward to generate tests that are meaningful in your environment and business. Take these tests to Informix and Oracle and try them and base your decision on that.
