Oracle has surpassed the industry-leading benchmark result it set in September, raising the bar even higher for data warehousing performance. (Logo: NewsCom: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020718/ORCLLOGO ) Running on an eight-node HP BladeSystem cluster of ProLiant BL25p server blades, equipped with AMD Opteron 2.6 GHz dual-core processors and Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.4, Oracle Database 10g Release 2 and Oracle Real Application Clusters achieved a new world record performance of 18,725.9 QphH@300GB and a price-performance ratio of $27.97 /QphH@300GB.





"We are constantly striving to increase database performance and provide our customers with world-leading performance and reliability for their data warehouses," said Richard Sarwal, vice president of Server Performance, Oracle.



"Benchmarks are one way with which to measure ourselves and this latest result demonstrates the power and value of Oracle on Linux."

Since its release in January 2004, Oracle Database 10g has established an extensive track record of delivering world record performance, price-performance and scalability -- including world record performance at the largest TPC-H scale factors -- one, three and 10 terabytes.
