Vivek,

You can look it up at 'www'tpc.org'.

Alex,

Sure, Oracle forms the majority of the TPC benchmarks. It just surprised me that IBM joined with M$, albeit to promote DB2. I haven't used DB2 (expect indirectly as an ADSM Server Index Manager), but from what I have heard of it, it isn't great shakes in performance compared to Oracle. I wonder whether M$ wanted to just rub Oracle on the wrong side? Any one know more details?
