Sort : of like the row level locking debate (which of course row level locking : makes load of sense.) Too bad that I live in the real world of : de-normalized data, office politics and unrealistic performance : expectations... But that's the whole point of the TPC benchmarks: end-user customer don't have to run the TPC suite. That's for the system/database manufacturers to do. It's pretty expensive and it's a long and involved process to complete (and have audited). Plus it requires quite of bit of hardware to pull one of these things off. Plus the time for tuning and, well, you get my drift. Enuf of this thread.
