Hi all, Looking back over the eWeek benchmark that's linked to from www.innodb.com (where MySQL is a match for Oracle), I made a few observations.
Firstly, both MySQL and Oracle achieved basically identical performance levels. This puzzles me as many tests I have seen online show MySQL totally dominating Oracle 9i in various environments. Is this indicative of some bottleneck being encounted by both engines? Secondly, the reviewers say that MySQL's performance is largely due to it's query cache. They go on to say that performance dropped by two thirds when disabled. Additionally, they reckon that MySQL is unique in having this feature. Is this true? If it is true, what exactly are the other DB engines doing to acheive their performance levels?? Thirdly, does anyone have anything to say about what MySQL 4.0.x's performance is like today relative to that test. Better? Worse? The same for all intents and purposes? The fact that various things have happened with Connector/J would surely impact positively. Lastly, looking at the MS SQL Server benchmarks on a .NET setup, what would everyone speculate about MySQL's performance in that setup? Is .NET really that much more efficient for this sort of application?
