The "Winter Corporation"? Which databases were included?   The Olympics one that IBM did on DB2? The Terraserver database? The SETI one? 2500 Transactions per second is the fastest they did? A conservative estimate of page hits per second ( "transaction" ) for a web site i know of is 8400/second.   :-) Oh, yea, and How much did Oracle pay Winter for the objective evaluation?   Inquiring minds want to know! :-D

For those of you who haven't read the article, it says that a survey made by the Winter Corporation showed that the top 10 OLTP databases on UNIX in the following categories: "Most Data", "Highest Workload", "Most Rows/Records" were all Oracle databases. Does anyone know of similar surveys on other platforms? In particular Windows NT / Windows 2000? And how about on the Sinclair, the Tandy, and the Commoder PET? :)
