Josh,

Should you get the chance I would appreciate a comparative test for
TPC-E.

1. Normal TPC-E versus
2. TPC-E with all FKs against Fixed tables replaced with CHECK( col IN
(VALUES(x,x,x,...))) constraints on the referencing tables.

I have reasonable evidence that Referential Integrity is the major
performance bottleneck and would like some objective evidence that this
is the case.

No rush, since it will be an 8.4 thing to discuss and improve this
substantially in any of the ways I envisage.
