The Transaction Processing Council (a consortium of hardware / software vendors) has standardized on a benchmark called TPC-A. If there is sufficient interest I can post information to the net otherwise mail me privately and I'll send you what I can. Be aware that TPC-A measures the entire interactive TP environemnt (not just the database). TPC-B is (being?) developed to provide a benchmark of just the back-end database. Is this the kind of info you are looking for? --- Barry L.
