Re: Open Source Database Routs Competition in New Benchmark Tests

There are a thousand RDBMS products that might fall under that heading, the
reason the names weren't published is that most commercial RDBMS product
prohibit the publishing of benchmarks when you buy it. The guys that did
this benchmark weren't trying to hide who it was just for the sake of hiding
it, they really can't *legally* say.

I know some people that have benchmarked Oracle and PostgreSQL... Oracle
won, that's all I'll say..

People still need to use whatever RDBMS makes their life easier, one could
make an argument for virtually all existing products (commercial or not) on
that product's individual strengths and weaknesses.
