Peter Tierney, Vice President of Marketing for Relational Technology, has
asked me to post this message regarding claims of benchmark performance that
have appeared in this newsgroup:
******************************************************************
Relational Technology does not feel that Usenet is the proper vehicle for
commercial messages. Anyone wishing accurate information regarding
performance of INGRES, or any other INGRES related information, should
feel free to contact Relational Technology at 1-800-4-INGRES.

I don't want commercial messages for sure; particularly, the kind quoted by sales and marketing people. They should avoid posting anything simply to aviod conflict of interest. But, USENET is a place to exchange real benchmarking experience and that is one reason I read this group. However, those who post their results better design their experiments as rigorous/"scientific" as possible, give all related context, and give a PROPERLY-QUALIFIED comparison. Knowing benchmarking and comparing simply the processor itself is contraversial as hell, dealing with DBMS is really a tough job. It takes decent effort to separate all non-DB factors if that can be done cleanly. It IS us READERS's responisbility to ignore most of the junky quotes that might be posted. -- ATT BL Holmdel ....!hou2b!tpl T. Paul Lee

This clearly belongs in net.jokes. I don't think this newsgroup is the proper place for commercial messages either. However, the discussion of performance of various systems by USERS, whether accurate or not, certaily does belong here. I certainly hope the Mr. Tierney is not suggesting that people stop talking about INGRES in this newsgroup. -- Russell Holden Computer Corporation of America Four Cambridge Center Cambridge, MA 02142

Relational Technology's policy is that no one here will submit claims or respond with counter-claims of performance with respect to other RDBMS on the net. Sounds reasonable to me.
