LoL! The "Winter
Corporation"? <FONT
face="Courier New">Which databases were included?
<FONT
face="Courier New">
The Olympics one
that IBM did on DB2?
The Terraserver
database?
The SETI
one?
2500 Transactions
per second is the fastest they did? A
conservative
estimate of page
hits per second ( "transaction" ) for a web site
i know of is
8400/second.

:-) Oh, yea, and
How much did Oracle pay Winter for the objective

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 - 15:59:52 CDT
