Re: TPCC - for the record (on DEC Alpha... it's Oracle) (was Sybase 11 TPCC)

>Alan... what record are you saying that Sybase holds? Is this in a >uniprocessor configuration maybe? The Sybase 11014 tpmC number was on a DEC Alpha 8400 with 300 MHz processors. The equivalent Oracle number on the 300 MHz system was 9414 tpmC. The Oracle 11k number was achieved with 350 MHz processors. You can't compare the 350MHz result with the 300 MHz result and imply that the Oracle DBMS is faster than Sybase. This was the same trick that Oracle played comparing a HP K410 Oracle7 7.3 result with a HP K400 Informix 7.1 result. Comparing a DBMS product that is not yet available on a newer faster chip, against a DBMS product that has been production for over 12 months with performance numbers on older hardware technology.
