Hi Akmal,

Since you claim that your benchmark is more robust than those of the Transaction Processing Council I strongly encourage to submit it to the TPC for evaluation, perhaps in the future it may be available as a TPC-x (whatever x may be at that time.)

Until such time the existing TPC benchmarks are the easiest way for customers to get an idea of how hardware and software measure up to one another. All major hardware and DBMS vendors run these puppies. Perhaps your benchmark will become the standard someday.

Cheers.
