I don't think these two are very comparable. True, PgSQL is getting closer and closer to Oracle, but Oracle is still ahead, especially in how it handles objects, PL/SQL and relational logic.
But, doesn't it matter to you whether you have to pay the license or not? pgSQL is an Open Source, Oracle is a lot of money... So, if there are no budget problems (means you spend no cent extra) go for Oracle, otherwise choose pgSQL as it is also very powerfull. -- Maxim Maletsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Manos Papagelis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote... : > Any kind of results are precious although I would prefer some official > benchmarks. > If I can give a hint I would say that I am mostly interested to Object > features of both and how well they do when transitive closure queries are > concerned (queries that combine many tables and relations - extended use of > unions etc...). > That's because of path expressions used in my queries.
