Is it possible for the benchmark providers to use "Database O" instead of the Oracle name?

Second question: if Oracle bans showing its product(s) in benchmarks does this mean that it is slow?

No necessarily. It's really easy to do bad benchmarking in good faith, especially for a serious database. Now imagine Company I doing benchmarks of Databases O and D, and they subtly cripple O, perhaps by failing to change one or two defaults....
