Is anyone aware of any performance benchmarks for UniData 7.1? How does it stack up against SQL 2005?
Hi Robert -- I searched for some appropriate benchmarks in 2002, but it looked like all industry standards, such as TCP benchmarks would compare apples and oranges unless comparing only SQL-based functionality and performance of SQL-based RDBMS tools. I revisited the question briefly a couple of years ago when developing a talk for the annual Datatel User Group conference called SQL Server vs. UniData. If you are interested in my powerpoint slides (now a year an a half behind the times, but much of it is likely still relevant), feel free to catch me off-list and I'll drum them up for you. I ended up chatting with several people, only one of whom was a Datatel SQL Server customer who had experience with UniData, so some of the information was anecdotal. At this point there might be some schools that have migrated from UniData to SQL Server (there were not at that time). I would recommend starting there, recognizing that if you talk to whomever made the decision to migrate, that person might feel a need to justify their associated costs of doing so. I suspect you will find that interviews of folks in the trenches who have knowledge of both environments (combined with my overview ppt if you are interested) would be more on target than any attempt to find relevant industry benchmarks. The IBM U2 folks might have some better ideas for benchmark comparisons otherwise, and if you do happen to find anything you think is useful along those lines, I would definitely be interested.
