Why Databases... just read this mail.
There are only 2 tracks
a) Totally off-track discussing oracle.

People are saying either this benchmark is bad or all benchmarks are
useless.
I get a feeling that the point we were trying to make is going to be missed.
MLDBM is not a bad alternative to databases under specific conditions !!
