I think the results point out the fallacy of your arguments. It shows, pretty definitevly, that UV can and does perform as well/better as Oracle, albeit under certain circumstances (ie, I'm sure other kinds of queries could produce different results). It doesn't mean you will always get better performance, but rather, it offers competitive performance (better for some things, worse for others)
However, one thing I did want to address is your QUAD processor point. You've made it a few times, and I just had to point out that it is irrelevant to the discussion. While UV will take native advantage of multi-processors in it's execution, a single query executed by a single user, especially such as that listed, will execute on a single processor, so no benefits will be seen for being on a QUAD (or a 64-way) machine. So, in reality, you are talking about the performance equivalent of operating on a single processor machine of whatever rating it has (and obviously, memory, other applications running, etc... impact that) Dave -----Original Message----- From: Joe Eugene To: U2 Users Discussion List Sent: 3/30/2004 6:07 PM Subject: RE: Modern Universe (TESTING) Sara, Can you please post your Query and results... Cause I am seeing the EXACT Opposite...as I posted earlier. Oracle Query is what? Select firstName from Customers where firstName like 'Sar%'; The above takes about 7-9 Times More Time to get any results on Our UV QUAD PROCESSOR MACHINE. Please post your PICK/BASIC Statement. Also you might want to dump the data in a separate table... other than something you use for other things.
