Very cool, Steve! You aren't interested in suggesting any comparative figures with any of IBM's other DBMS tools, are you? How would this compare to DB2 accessing the same data (not just 1 billion rows as I would guess this data would normalize to more than that) on the same hardware? You likely cannot give an answer on that, but if you have any comparison with any other DBMS tools, such as Oracle or SQL Server, that would be wonderful. Thanks for passing along this benchmark data. Cheers! --dawn We thought this was pretty cool. And yes, people are dancing in Denver! > Steve > > Stephen M.
