Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RE: How can I measure my DB performance.
Well, unlike BogoMips, which is just kind a mostly meaningless number the kernel generates on boot, a TPC benchmark is a measurement of the performance of a specific database on a specific platform - not the measure of your database. The database is provided to you, and you're very limited as to what you can tweak. So, for benchmarking SQL Server vs. Oracle, say - its a reasonably valid comparison. But for benchmarking your financial db on linux vs sun, for example, its totally inappropriate.
Thanks,
Matt
