I'm evaluating RDBMS packages for potential use in a major
development effort in my company.  I am having trouble
locating *ANY* type of benchmark/performance data for
the RDBMS packages I am considering.  Maybe I'm looking
in all the wrong places.

The packages I am currently evaluating are:

		  o  Progress
		     Progress Software Corporation
		  o  Ingres
		     Relational Technology, Inc.
		  o  Sybase
		     Sybase, Inc.
		  o  Informix
		     Informix Software, Inc.
		  o  Oracle
		     Oracle Corporation

I am particularly interested in results derived through
embedded SQL commands in 3GLs, 4GL, report writers and
form tools (if possible) with mainly ANSI standard SQL
calls.  Otherwise, *ANY* information would be greatly
appreciated.  Alternately any information SOURCES which
might provide me with this type of information would
be welcome as well.

Please e-mail replies.  If there is enough interest
in my findings, I will certainly post a summarization.

Thanks in advance.

Later ...
