Interesting Quote:

MySQL's great performance was due mostly to our use of an in-memory
query results cache that is new in MySQL 4.0.1. When we tested without
this cache, MySQL's performance fell by two-thirds.

EWeek compared MySQL to Oracle 9i and a few others, and they both came out
on top.

Re: [PHP-DB] Are there any Oracle vs Postgresql official benchmarks

2002-11-11 Thread Maxim Maletsky
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.

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. (e.g. where is
something that someone has created that has create something else and is
also find somwhere else ...blah blah blah)

I can already say that Oracle is faster. But official benchmark I have
never seen. Have you wondered aboout ACID test results for both?
