Yes, that is correct ;) > Do I understand right, that the machine has a single hard disk? Yes. At the moment I'm testing each database-engine with single ATA disks. I'm aware that this reduce the performance quite a bit. But then, - I'm only using a fragment of the data that will populate the database. > Maybe not so crucial for your described load process, but separating > data volumnes from log volumes is an important performance issue. I have them on separate partitions, but on the same physical disk. I can spread the load over some more disks and see how that affects the performance.
