Hi John

I cannot say that ' ...Latest tpC benchmark results - without Oracle...' as 8 of top 10 TPC-C Results by Performance (positions 2-7, 9,10 ) have Oracle in the database column.

Also under ** on
http://isource.ibm.com/cgi-bin/goto?it=usa_press&on=2000070605 can see
....

**Total solution availability date estimated to be Dec. 7, 2000. Solution specification, pricing and availability information is subject to change without notice.

...

So we'll see in December. Hopefully there won't be any withdraws :)
