    Tom,

    Agreed. Not trying to start a "best DB" war, but claims by DB vendors need
    to be backed up. One of the most comprehensive benchmarks in the Delphi DB
    market that I have seen is from Advantage (my DB).
    http://www.advantagedatabase.com/ADS/Product+Detail/Benchmarks/default.htm

    I think DBISAM also has a benchmark utility available for download.

    I did not see any benchmarks on the NexusDB site. Only statements under
    "Feature in Detail".

    Again, choosing a database involves a host of factors. I really like Bill
    Todd's DI article for his thoroughness in the DB selection process.

    Here his paper on Advantage and MS SQL Server (big ugly link):

    I welcome Nexus DB in to the market. We developers benefit from the
    competition.
