And my sources are from IBM. In fact IBM said that Oracle was even slower than DB2/6000. But I'm sure they were a little biased in their report. Now you of course are not, right? Yeah, I'm sure it must be that a hardware vendor chooses not to publish Oracle benchmarks because they are too fast. Seems nobody will believe them. ;-) Hey tell me Dave, where can I find a published TPC-C benchmark for a currently available to buy Oracle product? I am of course refering to one that will show that on the same hardware (any hardware) Oracle is faster than Informix 7.10.UD1. -- ____________________________________________ \\ Jon Alder \\ _ ______ | \\ Manager IS Technical Services \\ / \\___-=O`/|O`/__| \\ The Columbia Sportswear Company \\_______\\ / | / ) / Portland, Oregon / `/-==__ _/__|/__=-| / jon@columbia.com / * \\ | | /___________________________________________/ (o)
