First "Real" Benchmark for PostgreSQL

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the waiting-for-the-opportune-moment dept.

anticlimate writes "A new benchmark published on SPEC shows PostgreSQL's performance approaching that of Oracle's and surpassing or on par with MySQL (however the test-hardwares of the other DB systems are somewhat different). The test was put together by PostgreSQL's core developers working at Sun. They certainly are not unbiased, but this is the first 'real' benchmark with PostgreSQL — according to Josh Berkus's blog. The main difference compared to earlier benchmarks (and anecdotes) seems to be the tuning of PostgreSQL."

    The plural of hardware is hardware, not hardwares.
    Does slashdot not have a "check spelling" feature on the submission page?
