Thanks for the links. After reading a bit yesterday I am convinced that
Great Bridge tried to be as fair as possible. It's true they may not have
been able to tune the competitors databases though and that's something to
think about. OTOH they used the latest stable builds, lates stable ODBC
drivers, industry standard tests and identical machinary. I am looking
forward to more benchmarks from them.
BTW Both Oracle and MS-SQL license terms prohibit publishing benchmarks but
DB/2 does not. Maybe next time they can publish db/2 results.
