Wondering where SQL Server 7.0 is better than SQL Server 6.5 or than other enterprise-level database systems? Read SQL
Server 7.0 industrial standard Benchmark scores and performance indicators recorded.

I. Industrial standards
The ideal method for evaluating hardware and software is to compare different systems in the organization, check the performance under certain workloads, evaluate the development potential and estimate the cost. Of course, there is generally no organization that has enough time and resources to perform all tests, so they use Benchmark, a well-designed and highly reliable industrial Benchmark.
Microsoft works closely with the leading Independent Software Vendor (ISV, Independent Software Vendor) and original equipment manufacturer to release SQL
Server 7.0 industrial standard Benchmark test. These include Benchmark tests from multiple independent software vendors, such as Baan, PeopleSoft, SAP, and Transaction processing performance Committee (TPC, Transaction
Processing Performance Councer) benchmark and backup and recovery benchmark.
SQL Server has a series of amazing records on the Microsoft Windows NT & reg; Server platform, providing the best performance and the best cost-effectiveness in the industry. When it was released in November 1998
Server 7.0 has created new records for Baan, PeopleSoft, TPC-C single node performance and backup and recovery benchmarking on the Windows NT Server platform.

II. Independent Software Vendor (ISV, Independent Software Vendor) Benchmark
Hundreds of independent software vendors provide customized SQL Server 7.0-based applications. Therefore, ISV
Benchmark is a good way to compare database performance. They provide independent information under simulated workloads.
Benchmark of Baan and PeopleSoft
SQL Server 7.0 has achieved the performance of 3537 Baan Reference users (BRU, Baan Reference User).
The highest Benchmark record on the created Windows NT platform. This result is a four-way Pentium
II Xeon, 400 MHz processor Compaq ProLiant 7000 server.
SQL Server 7.0 has also created the best performance on the Windows NT platform in two benchmarks of Peoplesoft. In HRMS
In the Online 7.5 test, it obtained results of 5700 users, almost four times the original maximum record created by SQL Server 6.5. In the FS
In the Online 7.0 test (another benchmark of eaglesoft), SQL Server 7.0 has earned 2500 million users on the Windows NT platform. These results are the four-way Pentium
II Xeon, 400 MHz processor Compaq ProLiant 7000 server.
