LoL! The "Winter
Corporation"? <FONT

The Olympics one
that IBM did on DB2?
The Terraserver
database?
The SETI
one?
2500 Transactions

conservative
estimate of page
hits per second ( "transaction" ) for a web site i know of is
8400/second.

  Interesting. For those of you who haven't read the article, it   says that a survey made by the Winter Corporation showed that the top 10 OLTP   databases on UNIX in the following categories: "Most Data", "Highest   Workload", "Most Rows/Records" were all Oracle databases.   Does anyone know of similar surveys on other platforms? In   particular Windows NT / Windows 2000?   And how about on the Sinclair, the Tandy, and the Commoder   PET? :) Received on Thu Apr 05 2001 - 13:30:03 CDT
