Running a TPC-C test

... that the TPC-C benchmark, used to speed-test databases (pictured), originated with an unreleased product at Digital Equipment Corp? Source: Chen/Rabb/Catz 3.1
- ALT1: ... that the first official result for the TPC-C benchmark (testing pictured) in 1992 was 33, and now stands at 707 million? Source: TPC-C web site

Article is new, large enough. It is cited and free of copyvio, and read with an encylopedic tone. The Correct person is credited. Picture is used and free, and gives some clue as to a test. alt0 comes to 123 characters. However the article does not mention that the product RdbStar was unreleased. Alt1 is 115 characters. For alt1 that 707 million is not a current standing, but the record. So alt1 must be clarified before we can use it. I propose:

- ALT1a: ... that the first official result for the TPC-C benchmark (testing pictured) in 1992 was 54, and the record now stands at 707 million?

Also @Maury Markowitz: there will have to be a QPQ review. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:36, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ checks out, in that case good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:50, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Maury Markowitz: any chance you could cite the hooks inline before I promote? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 07:53, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Renumbered a bit, 9 and 11. I've been told (by the benchmark's developer himself) that it was 33, but this source says 54. Makes no different in the end, so we'll go with 54. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:56, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
