Hi All:

The latest TPC-C costs for the new MS SQL 2003 / Dell combo of $0.99
(compared with an Oracle 8i / Compaq combo results that top $52.xx):
http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_results.asp?print=false&orderby=pricepe
rf&sortby=asc . It seems that M$ is definitely competing on price points to
grab a larger market share.

It is very difficult to gleam any real results from the 'tpc.org' site as
the performance levels of various databases is so reliant on the hardware on
which they are running. 

It would be nice if there was a site which had two of three set pieces of
hardware, installed with a dozen of the major DBs (not 3 and sometimes 4)
and ran each under the same load conditions with the same data sets... then
maybe some realistic performance figures could be gathered.

Does anyone know a site where there are 'real' performance figures?
