I think I agree with DA here. TPC is good if all you want to do is
size-comparisons of male organs, but if you want to test for your actual
application, you should run your own benchmark. And keep in mind that
that benchmark applies to that application, and necessarily not any other
application.
As I understood it, DA's benchmark is for the same Oracle application
on Windows and Linux, which should be a fairly trivial benchmark to run.
(But it may say more about Oracle's implementation on the two operating
systems, that it tells about the operating systems themselves.)
Running a benchmark for the same application running SQL Server and
Oracle is a far more devilish game.
