Has anyone had a similar experience benchmarking MySQL with PostgreSQL?  See below.
Thanks,
Richard


Hello,
I have changed DB from MySQL to PostgreSQL. When I have run my application on PostgreSQL it was disaster - it was much slower than MySQL...


I have tried to change PG configuration file etc.. no luck. After many long days of thinking what is wrong I have made several tests with "EXPLAIN" statement, and to my amusement there was many SeqScan - MySQL didn't show that things. I have made some changes in PG db structure (new indexes etc) and then I have made another test: PostgreSQL time - 10ms, MySQL time - 1 sec. I've tried to change the structure in MySQL but it didn't change the results.

So my advise for all users which think that MySQL is faster than PG - re-check your DB structure, check all your querys using EXPLAIN... maybe new indexes should be added etc.

Regards,
Marek
