I just received a mail message from Hwan Shen of TPSG/Systems
Performance that the following vendors have registered performance test
results with TPC:
DEC
HP
IBM
Sun
Tandem
Unisys
Does this mean that none of the independent database vendors have
registered test results with TPC? If not, any guesses why not?

I believe the db software vendors simply utilize the efforts of the
systems vendors. Informix used IBM & HP, for example. You have to
look into the reports to see what db was used in each test.

And also important is the fact that often used cheating techniques no
longer is allowed, giving some (no one mentioned no one forgotten).
An example:
Defer writing of COMMIT values to End-of-Benchmark, in effect making
the whole benchmark MEMORY-based rather than disk-based.
