You are welcome.

I was a little surprised at the reaction since Oracle is longtime and enthusiastic supporter of the TPC (http://www.tpc.org). I know that a person whose title is "Principal Software Developer, Oracle Corp." is the lead person on a TPC technical committee. I had contact with this person when I was to trying to conduct an unofficial TPC-H benchmark and the TPC supplied dbgen program (generates test data for the benchmark) would not compile on Linux.

I am also confused as to why Daniel Morgan is allowed to post this information (skewed with his editorial comments), but when someone else posts the same information it is somehow not "courteous." Received on Wed Jan 26 2005 - 16:22:14 CST
