Olav Sandstaa commented on DERBY-110:
-------------------------------------

Since Derby is basically designed to log transaction to durable memory/disk, I 
do not think it is a bug that Derby is unable to compete with a main-memory 
database like HSQLDB with regards to insert performance. If nobody objects, I 
propose that we close this JIRA-issue with a status of that we will not fix 
this problem.

If someone wants to extend Derby to become a main-memory database I think it 
will be better to open a separate JIRA issue for that.

>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-110
>      Project: Derby
>         Type: Test
>   Components: Performance
>     Versions: 10.0.2.1
>  Environment: CPU 2.40GHz
> windows 2000
>     Reporter: Zhang Jinsheng
>     Priority: Minor

>
> 1. create db name systable in derby and hsqldb (another open source dbms);
> 2. create table named a table ('CREATE TABLE aTable(id INTEGER NOT NULL, name 
> VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, description VARCHAR(255))');
> 3. insert ten thousands row in table "atable"
>     for(int i=1; i<10000; i++) {
>       sql = "INSERT INTO aTable VALUES("+i+", 'haha', 'zhang'' test')";
>       stmt.execute(sql);
>       System.out.println(i);
>     }
> 4. derby spend 50390 millisecond;
>    hsqldb spend 4250 millisecond;
>  
> 5. conclusion: hsqldb has more perfect performance.
>    Maybe derby need to improve it's performance.
