Timothy,
You are always falling out of the LEFT field with your replies and maybe
it's the food that is doing it to you in the FAR EAST :
a) Nobody wants to argue about the definition of a transaction or how to
do a bench mark.. .because that is NOT what Oracle said
b) Or what should be included in YOUR bench mark etc.
Summary/Suggestion :
Go and buy an ECONOMIST magazine and go read what ORACLE is advertising
and if it's incorrect, make a suggestion to IBM to place a better add in
the ECONOMIST instead of telling us, they are involved in fighting crime
in South Africa or that they are helping to organize the parking at the
Miami Dolphins football stadium or that they are helping Italian
fisherman get their catch on the web.
Note: Oracle's claim was .. a "similar workload" but I do not work for
Oracle or for IBM and neither did I go to a Dutch University.. but I do
know you need to go stay in a Holiday Inn Express :

compete with FREE.
They are "free" provided the institution and its users agree to Google's
terms of service. To oversimplify only slightly, Google provides "free"
services in exchange for their ability to do just about anything they like
with your data. And they do.
Is that "free" deal a good deal? "It depends."

TPC benchmarks include dollar figures *advertised* as total cost per
operation, yes. They are not in fact total costs. They are very, very
partial. For example, they completely omit the biggest IT cost of all in
many/most countries: staffing/labor. Understandably so perhaps since it's
tough to write such benchmark standards, but costs that are merely hard to
calculate are no less real.
