Folks, I’m doing the 100GB TPC-H and I’ll show the previous results to our community (Postgres) in 3 weeks before finishing the study. My intention is to carry through a test with a VLDB in a low cost platform (PostgreSQL, Linux and cheap HW) and not to compare with another DBMS. So far I can

Folks, I forgot to mention that I used Shell scripts to load the data and use Java just to run the refresh functions. Talking about sort_mem config, I used 65000 but in the TPCH specification they said that you are not able to change the configs when you start the benchmark, is that a big

Hi, Has anyone had a look at: http://people.ac.upc.es/zgomez/ I realize that MySQL PG cannot really be compared (especially when you consider the issues that MySQL has with things like data integrity) but still surely PG would perform better than the stats show (i.e. #7 31.28 seconds versus

Looks like he's using the default postgresql.conf settings in which case I'm not suprised at pg looking so slow. The question also is, IMHO, why the hell, postgreSQL still comes out of the box with so stupid configuration defaults, totally underestimated for todays average hardware
