Q: Oracle 11g benchmarks Maybe it's just me, but I have having a hell of a hard time finding some good benchmarks for Oracle 11g. If I try to do the same for MySQL, I get a ton of results for read/write performance in different scenarios across different hardware setups with different types of reads/writes. What are some good resources for benchmarks like this for Oracle's database?
I am trying to decide between using a MySQL Cluster or Oracle 11g, and before I fork over my money for Oracle and whip up some benchmark tests, I would like to see benchmarks from others.

A: Have a look at swingbench (http://dominicgiles.com/swingbench.html) and of course the TPC site. However generic benchmarks will not be useful to decide what best suites your specific requirements. It is more useful to generate a benchmark that mimics your specific application.
