Hi Jim,

Running a benchmark is an expensive and time consuming task. Also you think about whom you comepte with. AIX is competing against Sun. And on Sun Oracle has higher market share. Running the benchmark on DB2 would have been good for DB2 but not efficient marketing for AIX because less Sun customers could relate to numbers. When you make comparisons you try to keep all variables stable except for the one you compare.
For AIX the competitor is Sun and not Oracle.

Cheers
