I did not know that there is a clause in the license agreement about not being allowed to disclose benchmarks of databases.

Recently I came into discussion regarding why someone chose to use Oracle instead of Postgres; the argument that someone brought up was that they did not know how Postgres scaled. After pointing out that the data that will be stored will be most likely be a few hundred GB (in an exaggerated worst case scenario) and that Postgres is said to handle 100's of TB of data, they capitulated and said that customers trust Oracle (even though they never see or touch the database).

Personally I would be very interested in seeing comparisons between PG, Oracle and MSSQL as well for different data-sets/use-case scenarios. This would really help as a reference in the future when someone else is making critical decisions which might not appear to make sense.

EDIT: This sounds like a very shady clause; anyone with law insights know whether this would be enforceable in the EU?

There is a direct comparison, it’s called TPCC TPCD TPCE TPCR family of benchmarks. Each company tries to make themselves look good with those, but they have to follow the rules.
