I think part of the reason they don't want people doing this, is because if you don't configure their database well, you can make it look bad when it shouldn't. > Think anout it, In USA you can speak and publish about the President > but cannot say anything about M$ or Oracles' DBMS? Not if you signed a contract that says you can't. If you didn't actually sign an agreement saying you wouldn't publish benchmarks, then you might have a case. You might argue that a click through eula isn't a valid contract or that you are a third party who isn't bound by whatever agreement the person who installed Oracle made. However it probably would cost you a bundle to have a chance at winning. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
