Re: MySQL million tables

Hi all,

I dont think this kind of test could have any meaning, given that table
creation time doesnt import in any way.

... but I was curious, so I made the test :)

>>Also, can we beat his estimate of 27 hours for creation?

We would need his complete machine specs to be sure we can beat him.

Just tried that script (still running) on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 (not my
prefered, but only one I could use for that test...)

2 physical CPUS in ht: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz with 2m cache

I can send more details if you want (postgresql.conf..)

I got a rate of 12 tables created per second (fluctuating from 10 to 13
so thats an approximation I do, Ill get final results on the end).

So at the moment I'll have 1M table in about 23 hours on that server.

I'll send complete results when it will be finished.
