>I'll mee-too this....who cares? Just another pseudo-benchmark from another >pseudo-database company.....I'll believe it when I see audited TPC results. I don't think TPC results are even relevant. What do they have to do with decision support, which is clearly the target market? >(BTW, I'm implementing a **larger** data warehouse on a PC-baced MPP >shared-nothing cluster, so don't come back with "Obviously he's not >building a massive data warehouse!")

Usage profiles in decision support are not at all similar to OLTP, which is the domain of TPC. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ Neil Raden - nraden@ix.netcom.com _/ _/ Archer Decision Sciences, Inc _/ Consultants & Systems Integrators _/ 133 E.
