Oracle claims to have designed the fastest transaction processing database

Oracle claims new database recordThe joy of writing your own benchmark is that you can go ahead and claim to have developed the world’s fastest widget and no one can say you are wrong. Which is precisely what Oracle has done with the Oracle TimesTen Scaleout database.

Oracle proudly states that the Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) database can crank out 144m SQL transactions/second and 1.2bn SQL statements/second and these numbers were collated using the Telecom Provider Throughput Benchmark (TPTBM). But who created the TPTBM? Well Oracle did, in response to what it says were: “performance needs from telco customers.”
