Re: MySQL 5 comparison

Robert, folks,

I have hacked a simple script (quick and dirty) to do some basic testing
via jdbc.
This is nothing special - just something simple to get basic results.

The basic idea to execute entire sets of statements and log their
duration in SQL format so that the data can be analyzed easily.

Robert, I have attached the script so you can use it if you wish.
If I can do something for you just let me know.

Best regards,

Hans
