My latest list of TPC-A results says:

Sponsor         : SUN
System          : SPARCserver 690MP
Spec.Rev.       : 1.0,1.1
Database        : SYBASE SQLServer 4.8.1
Op. Sys.        : SunOS 4.1.2, Sun DBE 1.2
Tot. Sys. Costs : $855,926.00
Throughput      : 95.41 tpsA
Price/Perf.     : $8,972 per tpsA

That's 12.5 % more tps,
       60   % more $$

and 40.5 % more $$ per tpsA, (all for Oracle, of course).

don't you think this posting was a bit too loud for these figures?

Greetings,

Othmar
