Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database-Microseconds Indeed Counts

Today I downloaded and installed Oracle TimesTen 7.0 In-Memory Database on Linux by following these presentations;

How to install Oracle TimesTen 7.0 on Linux
How to create an Oracle TimesTen 7.0 Database on Linux

and this documentation; TimesTen 7.0 Installation Guide

Code listing 70 : TimesTen Installation Notes

First benchmark results using the demo C code tptbm supplied by Oracle are very intresting, remember this is just an Oracle Enterprise Linux installed desktop pc with a single cpu after all :)

[oracle@tcellhost performance]$ ./tptbm -proc 2 -read 85 -insert 10 tptbmdata_tt70

Next steps include replicating data between Oracle and TimesTen over Global Cache Connect option and of course for persistency stress shutting down the electricty of pc during load :)
