        What is the basis for your statement about the TPC benchmarks that "this benchmark is totally skewed in Oracle's databases favor." ?

        The TPC is an independent body which designs the benchmark. Each vendor who publishes results creates a supertuned hardware and software configuration and publishes the configuration information along with their
certified test results.

        I will readily concede that the average installation will realize performance comparable to the benchmarks only in those months that have six Sundays, but they do provide a level playing field.
