Oracle(R) Database 10g Release 2 Secures World Record TPC-H Benchmark Result With Sun Fire(TM) E25K Server in 10TB Category

Today Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) announced a new world record TPC-H 10 Terabyte (TB) benchmark for Oracle(R) Database 10g Release 2. With this achievement, Oracle now holds world records for the three largest scale factors in database performance, showcasing the company's superior data warehousing capabilities. In all, Oracle holds four of the five TPC-H performance records: -- TPC-H 300 Gigabyte; -- TPC-H One TB; -- TPC-H Three TB; and, -- TPC-H 10 TB. Running on a single Sun Fire(TM) E25K server with 72 UltraSPARC IV+ 1.5 GHz processors and Sun's Solaris(TM) 10 Operating System (OS), Oracle Database 10g Release 2 with Automatic Storage Management achieved a record-breaking performance of 108,099.7/QphH@10000GB with a price-performance ratio of $53.80/QphH@10000GB.

"While running complex queries against multiple terabytes of data was a rarity five years ago, it's becoming more common across all of our customers today. Oracle Database 10g Release 2 provides customers with the high performance needed to quickly process these complex queries." This latest benchmark adds to the extensive list of Oracle Database 10g performance world records, including the recently published TPC-H one-TB and TPC-H three-TB benchmarks with Oracle Database 10g Release 2. As the leading database for production data warehousing, Oracle Database 10g provides a single, integrated database engine for scalable and high performing data warehousing implementations. This new record-breaking benchmark illustrates why customers choose Oracle on Sun systems to run very large databases. About Oracle Database 10g The only database designed for grid computing, Oracle Database 10g delivers superior performance, scalability, availability, security and ease of management on a low-cost grid of industry standard storage and servers. Oracle Database 10g is designed to be effectively deployed on everything from small blade servers to the biggest SMP servers and clusters of all sizes. It features automated management capabilities for easy, cost-effective operation. Oracle Database 10g's unique ability to manage data from traditional business information to XML documents and spatial/location information makes it the ideal choice to power online transaction processing, decision support and content management applications. About TPC-H TPC-H is a decision support benchmark consisting of a suite of business oriented ad-hoc queries and concurrent data modifications. The performance metric is called the TPC-H Composite Query-per-Hour Performance Metric (QphH@Size) and reflects multiple aspects of the capability of the system to process queries.
