"DB2 UDB V8.2, eServer p595, and TotalStorage FASt900 published an amazing
TPC-C result of 3,210,540 tpmC at a price/performance of $5.19/tpmC,
demonstrating 2.7x better performance than Oracle RAC. Never before has any
database vendor taken such a decisive leadership position in this benchmark.
In fact, this new DB2 result leads the previous record by a margin wider
than the top results of Oracle and Microsoft combined!"

comparison.

Pathetic. Reminds me more of politics than anything else.
