Well, there are plenty of objective detailed comparisons on www.oracle.com!

Patrice - By technical, do you mean a feature comparison or a performance
comparison. You might want to research the eWeek benchmark for the three a
couple of years ago. They made extensive efforts to produce an objective
performance analysis, but even at that they had another article later about
t
Well, all of those benchmarks could be summarized in a single sentence:
Oracle is the best, ite missa est.

Of course you talk about "raw" memory access vs. "raw" disk access here...
When you have several memory protection and disk caching mechanisms these
figures will change..
Yes, I saw that when it first appeared on /.
Seems some bright programmers are trying to
dispense with databases altogether. Keep it
in memory and write it to disk occasionally for
backup.
And since we all know that memory accesses are
~14k times faster than disk, these benchmarks

I tried MySQL at home... there don't seem to be any user-friendly tools for
it. I like user-friendly.
I am curious about SleepyCat as a replacement for Access, could I use that
with OpenOffice I wonder.

Jared,
It is no longer MySQL the "hot" product. You have 9,000 times faster

Speed is relative.
In the early 20th century Henry Ford built a fast car.
It had an ~1100 cubic inch engine, and would go over 100 MPH.
No seatbelts, no roll cage, open gearing ( oil and grease everywhere),
no roof, and nearly useless brakes.
You could go fast, but would you want to?

i keep hearing that mysql is fast, but have never seen one benchmark. people
just assume its true. In what sense? what conditions?
Around 400 BC Aristotle stated that heavy objects fall faster than light
objects. It wasnt until the 15th century that someone actually tried to test
it... they just as
So is MySQL, supposedly.
These things are usually very subjective, and rarely objective.

I have yet to see an objective, detailed comparison of Oracle, DB2 and SQL
Server. From a technical (i.e. what can it do) as well as from an
organisational (i.e. how is it to manage) point of view.
Even 3rd party "think tanks" seem to walk on e
