I don't know any real benchmark currently that isn't fairly involved to set up. As in, week-long debugging session. I wish it were different, but to date nobody is available to put in the kind of work required to have credible benchmarks which are relatively portable. DBT2 is a bit more stable than DBT5, though, so you might have a better time with it. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
