Ok. That's a long list i think :)
But i'll do my best.

I agree. I thought about generating with my application some sort of
pseudo-random
data in order to get all kind of dependancies like foreign key and
master-details
with several levels of details and combination of these. I'll use data
paterns from
real life applications. (I have written an application for Romanian
customs).
In my opinion performance should be similar between the two RDBMS with highs
and lows on diferent topics but i'm interested in them too.

Thanks for your fast reply.
