RE: OT RE: Oracle being scalable

You mean, the infamous "Atlanta" database which was showing runners 30ft tall and 99 yrs. old?
That one was worth remembering it.....

LoL! 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

Interesting. 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? :)
