No Jon, you forgot to include any performance data.

John Wilson asked for benchmarks.  Names of benchmarks and a
assertions about results which we aren't permitted to see don't help
him.  Or the net in general.  "Why'd you buy product X for $30K?"
"Because someone on the net said that could I but know what he knows,
I'd choose X over Y."  Not very convincing, y'know?

If you want to be helpful, how about some data?  What TPS were
measured, on what hardware, what software, what size tables?  And of
course the signature stuff, we'll weigh that in somehow :-)
