This paper covers what we at NCR have learned about the TPC-D benchmark as we executed and published our first set of volume points for the Teradata Database. Areas where customers should read the Full Disclosure Report carefully are pointed out as well as the weaknesses in the benchmark relative to real customer applications. The key execution and optimization elements of the Teradata Database and the 5100 WorldMark platform that contribute to our published results are discussed
