DB2 UDB V8.2, eServer p595, and TotalStorage FASt900 published an amazing
TPC-C result of 3,210,540 tpmC at a price/performance of $5.19/tpmC,
demonstrating 2.7x better performance than Oracle RAC. Never before has any
database vendor taken such a decisive leadership position in this benchmark.
In fact, this new DB2 result leads the previous record by a margin wider
than the top results of Oracle and Microsoft combined! http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data...ks/111704.html 5  5587

What a laugh. Look at the small print at the bottom of the page:
DB2 UDB on IBM eServer p595 (64-way Power5 1.9GHz)
Oracle RAC 10g on HP Integrity rx5670 Cluster 64P (16 x 4-way Intel
Itanium2 6M 1.5GHz)
Is this a comparison of the database products DB2 UDB against Oracle or
the p595 chips at 1.9GHz against the inferior Itanium2 1.5GHz chips.
If IBM has to bend over this far to be faster it deserves to be kicked
in the posterior with a boot.
Shame on IBM for such pathetic nonsense. Shame on you for posting it.

If TPC benchmarks are pathetic nonsense, you will have to explain why Oracle
is so heavily involved with the TPC organization. Many Oracle employees are
on TPC committees, and some are in charge of those committees. www.tpc.org http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_perf_results.asp http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data...ks/111704.html
Shame on you for being in denial of an independent benchmark organization
that is strongly supported by Oracle Corporation.

Benchmarks are benchmarks. TPC didn't choose the ones to compare: IBM did.
Do you really think a Power5 chip is equivalent to a slower Itanium2?
Answering "yes" might help DB2 but I'll put money on the fact that those
nice hardware people would scream things at you not generally said in
polite company if you are claiming that is IBM's official position about
one of its best chipset.

Lets try this again and I will use very small words.
This isn't about TPC.
This isn't about the products
It is about Power5 <> Itanium2
It is about AIX <> Unknown
Try addressing the issue I have repeatedly raised rather than posturing
on the value or lack thereof of TPC.

Is there a DB2 equivilant to Oracle's DB Link functionality ? I have two

In Oracle I would just create a DB Link between the two instances. Is such

We are trying to import the TPC-H data into postgresql using the COPY

We are using a linux system with Postgresql-7.3.4
Is it that Postgresql cannot handle such large files or is there some
