> the TPC is *independent*. Yes,

  and it's flawed and vendors take advantage of this to dupe the   unwitting.
  || Name one metric/benchmark that is NOT flawed. You get a   free meal         <FONT
  size=2>from me if you do. After you can't do that, name one company           that would
  not use a test or competitor's      
  flaws/shortcomings         <FONT
  size=2>to their advantage. Come on, it's not about some kind of           dreamy
  "perfection", it's about doing the best we can.           I
  personally believe that quoting the TPC is alot more           defensible that
  quoting Oracle Magazine. LOL!! <FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial   size=2>

  I can
  name one.  It's the Chris Bowes Mouse Count benchmark   system...
  I set
  up the computer and software you give me and the competitors and run counts,   table accesses and the like and time it with the Mickey Mouse watch I   got my toddler the last time were went to Disney.  I then   stick "YOU WIN" smiley face stickers on the winner and "YOU SUCK" stickers on   the one(s) that don't.  In case of a tie, <FONT   color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>the computers   home and take a baseball bat to the ones that don't match my drapes.    (The fee for the test is I get to keep the winner).  So do I get the   meal?  Huh? Do I? Do I? Do I?
