Results of test performed between MSSQL and PostgreSQL: #------------------------------- Excerpt:
5 Conclusions This paper compares the performance and scaling of the BenchmarkSQL workload running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 with that of the same workload on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. The database servers used were HP ProLiant DL370 G6 servers equipped with 48 GB of RAM and comprised of dual sockets, each with a 3.2 GHz Intel Xeon W5580 Nehalem processor (totaling 8 cores). The data presented in this paper establishes that a common OLTP workload on PostgreSQL can contend with SQL Server and with minimal tuning, is capable of outperforming SQL Server using the same load in an enterprise environment. The number of actual users and throughput supported in any specific customer situation would naturally depend on the specifics of the application used and the degree of user activity. http://pgsnake.blogspot.com/2010/05/postgres-vs-sql-server.html #---------------------------------- Regards, LelandJ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
