We have a TPC-H derivative, Database Test 3, that works with PostgreSQL
now, if you're interested in that.  You can find your way to it at:
	http://www.osdl.org/projects/performance/dbt3-page.html

It uses the dbgen tool and creates the database for you, as well as all
the query templates to the best we could port them to work with
PostgreSQL, and scripts to run a power and throughput test.
