One potential problem... I don't think that my$ql can actually handle
the osdl tests. On the bright side iirc the osdl folks switched to
studying postgresql instead of sapdb (aka max$ql) because they could not
get the performance they needed from sapdb, so you might be able to do a
comparison there. But this has always been a problem with benchmarking
my$ql with postgresql... any test complex enough to show off
postgresql's capabilities tends to cause my$ql to fall over... not
saying you shouldn't do it, just saying finding a good benchmark might
be tricky.
BTW David, I'm sure you've seen
