*beep* The TPC-C benchmark as employed by Oracle does as little prove that RAC scales as TPC-C does
that DB2 + DPF scales in an OLTP environment. The reason being that the app was partitioned (just like the 440k TpmC DB2 + DPF on Win2k TPC-C result was partitioned many moons ago) and the load was explicitly routed for datalocality. This is the contradiction of the RAC premise of NOT having to change the App. TPC-C is no validation for RAC's scalability within the metric not supported by DB2. Just keeping you guys honest :-)

Cheers
Serge
