Apparently HP never submitted that combination; whether or not they ever
tested it is unknown. The only TPC-D results submitted by HP were for two
versions of Oracle 8 running on NetServer LXr 8000 hardware using the 300GB
configuration.
TPC-H results are published for Informix on N4000, V2500 (both at 300GB)
and, less than a month ago, Superdome Enterprise at the 1000GB level. DB2
UDB on an RS/6000 SP 550 soundly spanked the Informix/Superdome combo on
both raw QphH performance and on Price/QphH.
