speed is of the utmost importance , I can't have a client run a report and wait 2 days for it to finish.

But since I blew it already, I don't mean to sound harsh or defensive, because, frankly, I don't have a vested interest one way or the other which db you use. And I'm not doubting your results. I'm simply saying you should probably look at your settings/configuration because MySQL should not be lagging that far behind SQL Server. That is unless there is something particularly unique about your setup or tables or data that is causing queries to run so slowly on MySQL. If speed is important to you (and it sounds like it is) then it might be worth tweaking some to figure out what is causing MySQL to lag so badly. Ok, 'nuff said. aron > -----Original Message----- > From: Mary Stickney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 10:36 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Francisco; Elizabeth Bogner; > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: MySQL vs. Oracle (not speed) > > > > 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.
