TPC-DS, Taking Decision Support Benchmarking to the Next Level

Summary: TPC-DS to advance decision-support benchmarking with a next-generation workload. It models retail DSS using snowflake schemas and shared dimensions, with data skew, a large query set, and data loading/maintenance—delivering realism beyond prior benchmarks.
