915.0. "Request for ORACLE TPS benchmark on VAX4000,Mod300" by CAPITN::CHAN_ED () Mon Apr 22 1991 20:55

    Does anyone have TPS data on Oracle software running on a VAX 4000
    Model 300?  I am providing sales support for a customer that has
    narrowed the database of choice between Oracle and Rdb.  Any leads
    would be much appreciated.
    
    Thanks,

    Ed,
    
    I do not have the data that you request. Be careful, Oracles benchmarks
    are usually not the same benchmarks that we run. Thus they can not be
    compared.
    
    Why not phone Oracle and ask them for a full disclosure report also.

915.2Put them on the ropes...KYOA::KOCH_PIt never hurts to ask...Wed Apr 24 1991 04:157
    As .1 pointed out, Oracle does not do certified TPC benchmarks. 
    
    I still think Oracle's purchase contract does NOT allow customers
    to publish performance numbers. We stand behind ours...
    
    Ask them to produce their AUDITED & CERTIFIED TPC benchmark numbers
    for the platform to be chosen.
