Summary
The TPC approved its fourth benchmark in April, 1995. It differs from the existing benchmarks which focus on light and mid-weight customer oriented transactionns. TPC-D represents a broad range of decision support (DS) applications that require complex, long running queries against large complex data structures. Real-world business questions were written against this model, resulting in 17 complex queries.
