Re: benchmarking postgres

Why not attach a hundred users and run the same test. MySQL will be
licking *everyone's* boots. Each and every program listed would
positively slam them into the floor and grind their face in the dirt
(unless they have made some monumental improvements recently).

If a single user database is wanted, MySQL is just the ticket. When it
gets a bunch of users and has to do complex stuff, it goes into the
toilet.

As far as benchmarks go, TPC-C, TPC-H, TPC-W and TPC-R would be
interesting. Trying to beat a toy database under silly conditions is a
waste of time.

Look at this: (top one)

http://www.mysql.com/information/benchmarks.html

Does anyone feel like running the MySQL benchmark against postgres 7.2
to
see if there's been a real speed improvement??
