Oracle Database 10g release 2 broke previous records held in two of the Transaction Processing Council (TPC) warehousing benchmark categories.

Oracle announced at Oracle World 2005 in San Francisco that in the TPC-H 300 GB category, its database and Real Application Clusters achieved a record 13 284.2 queries-per-hour performance metric (QphH@300GB) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux v4, overtaking IBM DB2`s best benchmark in the category.

In the TPC-H 3TB category, the Oracle Database 10g achieved a record of 100 512.3 QphH@3000GB on IBM AIX 5L v.5.3.

"Designed for grid computing, Oracle Database 10g delivers the highest performance, scalability, availability, and ease of management on a grid of industry standard storage and servers," said Richard Sarwal, Oracle server performance VP.

These records illustrate that Oracle`s database is capable of high performance data warehousing, said Sarwal.
