How can one expect to get ACCURATE information by calling up RTI?
Basically, RTI is trying to sell a product and like any good sales 
organization, the information that they can be expected to give will
surely not contain any facts/results not favourable to INGRES. On the
other hand, independant benchmarks give a more reliable and accurate 
idea about the capabilities of a product.
