105.0. "Benchmark for V3" by ZPOV02::JEFFREYCHOY (Master_of_none) Tue Mar 29 1988 11:15

    Hi,
    
    I have to do a benchmark for Rdb/VMS. The competition includes
    INGRES on SUN, Oracle on Appollo and Ingres on HP.
    
    The config uses one microvax 3600 as a server in a LAVC of 4
    workstations.
                   
    My concern is we are still on version 2.3 but my competitors
    would probably be using their newly release INGRES.
     Besides INGRES running on UNIX is impressive.
    
    The question is, should I run the benchmark with version 3 Rdb/VMS.
    (field test kit)
    
    If so, where do I get the field test kit? (STEVE HORN).
                                                          
    Appreciates for any help
    
    Regards, JEFFREY

105.2	FT - YES. if available	SKYLRK::KURATA		`Sat Apr 02 1988 00:55`	12
	re .-1 Andrew is indeed correct that the question of obtaining FT S/W should be directed to product management. Re .0 If you can use FT 3.0 then do it. We tried it here and changed some minds about Rdb being too slow. Jerry
105.3	more info on benchmark results	LOMBRD::BARTON_LA		`Tue Apr 19 1988 01:56`	11
	re. .0 and.1 Is anyone aware of benchmark results available for V3.0. I am particularily interested in the 8550 class machine. I am competing against IBM, and am not sure which products will be proposed. I am hopeful that RDB will be my best solution. Lauren Sacramento
105.4	NO	BANZAI::BERENSON	Rdb/VMS - Number ONE on VAX	`Wed Apr 20 1988 16:19`	1
	V3.0 is not announced, so no performance information is yet available.
105.5	When?	LOMBRD::BARTON_LA		`Fri Apr 22 1988 22:14`	3
	The obvious extension of that question is... when do we expect an announcement?
105.6	In the future!	NOVA::BALBONI	Rdb/VMS Development	`Sat Apr 23 1988 01:47`	2
	You should contact the product manager NOVA::HORN (Steve) for this information.
