I have never seen oracle doing heavy duty work.. just in development environment.. and I really hate it's resource preclaim policy.. I have also used postgres which is lean/mean and fast.. I always wonder who would eb beneficial at lower end. (for that matter at any place..). My good guess is given same hardware and OS, postgres should perform at least 80-85% of oracle. It should beat oracle all the time on uniprocessor machines.. Major weakness of postgres as I know is it doesn't scale on SMP machines..and let me keep mum for oracle.. What say? any simple but heavy duty tests to beat these two? I have oracle9i and postgres7.2(Though not compiled...) I can beat both of them on HP-UX as well as linux.. If anybody has some simple test that I can run.. I would be happy to see who's who in practice..
