Re: PG performance comparison vs Oracle

Lee,


Terse pointers:



1) Some posted already in list. Although, it may have been "performance".
This question might be better addressed there. YMMV.

2) Performance of _what_? Concurrent reads? Single user batch loads?
DW application? Multitable updates? "pure" OLTP? "pure" OLAP?

Finding out "Who is the winner?" requires that you first design a racecourse.


3) www.tpc.org (for ideas; no decent PG or MySQL benchmarks I could find there

4) Performance is measured against hw, sw budget dollars and also against user
perceptions. This would be part of the racecourse, IMHO.

5) As a "rule", at extremes of largeness, nothing beats oracle.


Hope These Help a bit,


Ross
