Hello List,
Not sure to which list I should post (gray lines, and all that), so
point me in the right direction if'n it's a problem.
I am in the process of learning some of the art/science of benchmarking.
Given novnov's recent post about the comparison of MS SQL vs
PostgresQL, I felt it time to do a benchmark comparison of sorts for
myself . . . more for me and the benchmark learning process than the
DB's, but I'm interested in DB's in general, so it's a good fit. (If I
find anything interesting/new, I will of course share the results.)
Just remember that all the major commercial databases have
anti-benchmark clauses in their license agreements. So, if you decide
to publish your results (especially in a formal benchmark), you can't
mention the big boys by name. [yes this is cowardice]
