Mark,
    TPC benchmarks (TPC-A and TPC-B) require a full disclosure, including
sample source code of the driver, etc.  The benchmarks themselves are
specified in detail.  To get a copy of the benchmark definitions, contact

	Shanley Public Relations
	777 N. First Street, Suite 600
	San Jose, CA 95112-6311 USA
	Ph:  (408) 295-8894
	FAX  (408) 295-2613
	Email:  shanley@cup.portal.com

All vendors are required to publish full disclosure reports as part of
the agreement that allows them to claim TPC-A or TPC-B numbers.  You
should be able to get a copy of the same from Sybase.
