Re: Postgresql mentioned on Newsforge MySQL article

Looks like it was a design contest not a benchmark to me. Surprise,
surprise, the team that personally designs a DBMS has the best
performing DBMS. The second place winner, Alexander Burger, is the
author of the solution he used: Pico LISP. The third place team,
MonetDB, used their solution, MonetDB.

The results tell me that people who write databases can write good apps
that use those same databases. And the world collectively says "O
RLY?".

Don't know the validity of this dvd order test they did, but the article

claims Postgresql only did 120 OPM.
Seems a little fishy to me.
