Baloney yourself. MS doesn't have any TPC-D numbers because they cannot
make a respectable showing there! (Believe me if they could even come close
they would.) terraserver is a joke as an example of scalability -
scalability is not the ability to look up a single row in a table - that
ability has been around for decades. MS SQL 7 still reparses each and every
query and is a major bottleneck on large systems.
