I think everyone wants to see them. Can anyone out there speak to this?

Not a cluster, but Guy B. posted a screen cap of IDS 10 running on a =
single PS3 on his blog in late 2006, I thought it was interesting.

Ah...=20
The express edition makes sense.=20

Methinks its a conspiracy by both IBM and Oracle to wrangle more of =

Actually I wonder what will happen when Microsoft beefs up their =
SQLServer. Will IBM then change their tune?
BUT I STILL WANT TO SEE THOSE TPC-E NUMBERS and find out more on the =
cell based stuff.

It used to be. It looks like it now comes standard with Enterprise =
Edition, must be purchased as an addition feature for Workgroup Edition =
and is not available in Express Edition.

Subject: TPC-E anyone?
Sorry if I'm being impatient, but I was *wondering* if/when we'll =
see any TPC-E benchmarking, that we've been hearing rumors about?
The latest from IBM was a TPC-C using DB2 v 9.5 which was done by =
the hardware folks to thumb their noses at HP. Of course HP responds =
with their latest benchmark, however while the total numbers were lower, =
the cost per transaction was much lower.
And they say that TPC-C is dead.
So what is it going to be?
And one has to ask... Will it be on a blade server, and if so, on =
the cell chip based blades? ;-)
This would kind of kill two birds with one stone. We'll get to see =
the cell in action along with IDS numbers that should shock the rest of =
the world.
But hey! What do I know? My client is just *now* switching to 10g, =
but are too cheap to pay for the ability to partition tables.
Isn't that a built in feature of IDS? (meaning all commercial =
versions?)
