Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Oracle Million Dollar Challenge

I do not have the expertise to enhance postgresql.
My interest - purely monetary
That's a lot of money.

I find it hard to believe that the solutions from
IBM,SYBASE,CA,MS  etc. are 1/3 as fast as Oracle.
I saw Oracle's ad the other night and thought
it was a rather wreckless challenge.

Is Oracle really over three times faster than Postgres 7.1?
I wonder what Oracle's definition of speed in this context is?
