Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: MS SQL hasn't given up!
He's got a good point, performance at that point doesn't matter if your
system must be rebooted weekly, and crashes every couple of days.
The tests should be run 24x7 for 350 days... to get a real idea on what kind
of reliability and performance you can get.

always gives good performance ...
Okay ... MS got good numbers, so assume that system was so tweaked that no other program else might be running on it for all we know. Launch a local IE and see the TPC-C go down ... (I know, sometimes I can be evil ...)
But TPC-C doesn't care about the effect of virus attacks? Available exploits? BSOD? Now that itanium is 64bit and faster, would you see a BSOD appear faster?
I don't hate MS, I just like them less than I like Unix systems... that's
all, it is a personal preference.

For your amusement, MS thinks they can "now" equal Oracle in performance (wasn't that what they claimed 3 years ago?). Anyway, I tend to think of these benchmarks like the NASCAR winners. Yeah I'm going to go by a Chrysler because it won the NASCAR championship.
