Re: TPC-* Benchmarks

Hi Paul,

You might want to take at look at the Open Source Database Benchmark
project:

http://www.sf.net/projects/osdb

This is an implementation (by Andy Riebs from Compaq) of the AS3AP
database benchmark, and works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and one other
database too from memory.  You're probably best off to get the latest
version from CVS as there have been a few good enhancements since the
latest code snapshot.

If you need any further help, please let me know.  There is a PostgreSQL
Advocacy and Marketing site which will come online over time
(http://advocacy.postgresql.org), and if you have suggestions regarding
the publishing of benchmarks, this is probably the place they will be
implemented.

Hope this helps.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
