The last published database benchmark was the one by eWeek over a year ago. The following article provides some insights into why database benchmarking is such a tricky business.

Since the benchmark showed great performance by Oracle, the article mainly discusses why certain seemingly insignificant factors caused MS SQL and DB2 to perform poorly.
