Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT IBM and the Olympics....was "RE: Oracle being scalable"
IBM has done the Olympics IT for 40 years.
The Atlanta Olympics -- considered to be the "first Internet Olympics" -- was half a decade ago (Good memory, Mladen!).
After that, IBM hit grand slam after grand slam in supporting the Olympics.
Too bad Oracle was never involved. Maybe someone should let the folks at www.wintercrap.com know?
Any, in an EP-like effort at education, one might be interested in the following.

<==> <==> <==> 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

<==> <==> <==> 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? :)
