Perhaps you haven't noticed but we are not Oracle employees and couldn't care less if Larry put his wife on the TPC committee.

You mean this is mutually exclusive? Try a bit of Boolean logic for a change. It is possible for two different things to be true.

1. DB2 doesn't scale large OLTP workloads = TRUE
2. TPC benchmarks are irrelevant = TRUE

Which is not to say that I agree with #1 but 1 and 2 are not mutually exclusive. You must write fascianting IF/THEN statements.

Almost to the level of your gross ignorance? Nah ... he'd need a uranium weight belt.
