No, the article is:
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,293,00.asp

Another article is http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,4178,00.asp This is the same test (sister publications), but illuminates slightly different points. I think Steve Orr deserves credit for originally posting this.

Stephane - The closest I've seen is the eWeek benchmark. It actually put the
databases head-to-head on the same server. I don't have the URL handy, but
you can probably go to www.eweek.com and browse around. However, ultimately
the issue comes down to your situation. For example, MSSQL only runs on W2K.
In some situations that is okay, but for others that eliminates MSSQL from
consideration. And so on with all the other differences. What is a big issue
in your situation may not be an issue in my situation. Dennis Williams
