Hi Tim.

Are these figures published TPC-C benchmarks for Oracle? I have not heard that Oracle has run TPC-C benchmarks. Which Sun operating system were used in these benchmarks and which versions of Oracle? Also, for those who are not familiar with TPC-C, they should note that the TPC council changed the metric and is now measured in transactions/minute, so we are now looking at less than 20/secs - which is getting much closer to the truth than the old TPC-A benchmarks.

Thanks for the information Tim.
