Frank, as Victor said, there is an article on Forrester.com, but it will cost you $99 to read the whole thing,

This is the article intro (all that you can see without paying the access fee):

Teradata Exits TPC-H: Customers Lose

www.forrester.com/find?Ntt=Teradata+TPC-H&Ntk=MainSearch&Ntx=mode+matchallany&N=0

IT View Quick Take, March 17, 2004

by Lou Agosta

Teradata quietly withdrew its 10 TB and 3 TB TPC-H decision-support (data warehousing) benchmarks on March 4, 2004, without formal, public comment and will abstain from future publications of TPC-H benchmarks. Teradata asserts the benefits of not competing will outweigh the flak it will take from its competitors, which continue to compete. However, the real loss will be experienced by clients and prospects that will be poorer in information and the innovations driven by the benchmark.

I hope NCR (Teradata) will be forthcoming with their reasons for dropping out of this benchmark, but they still retain TPC-C benchmarks...
