TPC-C - The Standard Benchmark for Online transaction Processing (OLTP).
Francois Raab · 1993
The Transaction Processing performance Council introduced the TPC BenchmarkTM C in August 1992. At the time the TPC had two other OLTP benchmarks, TPC-A and TPC-B. The TPC continued to support and publish results on TPC-A, its first OLTP benchmark until December 1995. TPC-A simulates all the major functions of a simple OLTP system and was, until its retirement by the TPC, accepted by the industry as the leading tool for comparing systems. Since then, TPC-C has replaced it in that role and gained even greater recognition.
