no need to get defensive ...
We did do a timed test. I am trying to sped up a program that currently take over 12 hours to run... I started running it yesterday morning and it is still going. and going and going... -----Original Message----- From: Aron Pilhofer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 9:25 AM To: Mary Stickney; Francisco; Elizabeth Bogner; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: MySQL vs. Oracle (not speed) Not to open a can of worms here, Mary, but I'd love to know exactly how you got those results, since they basically contradict every known benchmark I have seen (at least those not funded by M$... this being one: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,293,00.asp) as well as every benchmarking test I have run myself. My results, frankly, have not been close -- not even in the same ballpark. So I suspect if you are getting different results it has something to do with your configuration. Just for the record: I'm not particularly anti-MS. I like Windows XP, I think they make some decent software (Access and Excel are what I teach on most often). And you do get a lot of nice features with SQL Server -- speed just doesn't happen to be one of them.
