does anyone have already an ftp-able (uucp-able) implementation of
tpc-b, or some other sql benchmark, preferably for sybase?

my intentions are to start with tpc, add domain-specific transactions,
but start with a substrate that times TPS and cranks up and down
number of simultaneous users...

i have so far been unsuccessful in persuading sun or sybase to part with
their tpc-b implementation, though they seem very happy to quote numbers
in press releases and semi-technical quasi-marketing literature.

pity it isn't currently possible to replicate the benchmarks on other
configurations than they ran it on.  (or am i misstating the case?)
