Hi Matthew,

    Check the TPC (Transaction Processing Council) site for their benchmark data.

    The benchmarks are only good for showing relative performance. Unless your applications are quite similar to the benchmark applications the absolute times should be totally ignored.

P.S. If you only want to know which is faster -- Oracle.

regards
Jerry Gitomer
