PostgreSQL Outperforms MongoDB In New Round of Tests

Posted by Soulskill on from the there-can-be-only-lots dept.

New submitter RaDag writes: PostgreSQL outperformed MongoDB, the leading document database and NoSQL-only solution provider, on larger workloads than initial performance benchmarks. Performance benchmarks conducted by EnterpriseDB, which released the framework for public scrutiny on GitHub, showed PostgreSQL outperformed MongoDB in selecting, loading and inserting complex document data in key workloads involving 50 million records. This gives developers the freedom to combine structured and unstructured data in a single database with ACID compliance and relational capabilities.

    Because Postgres isn't web-scale. I want web-scale.

      "Web-scale" is "big enough to hold a Wordpress database"?

      I'm afraid you were still semi-wooshed. I was actually making a reference to this.

      I can only think of one database that isn't "webscale", and that's TinySQL, which I still use for personal web projects regardless.

      I hadn't heard of TinySQL, so I just Googled it. From http://sourceforge.net/project...

      > tinySQL is a SQL engine written in Java.

      Is the name meant to be ironic or something?

      two-phase commit

      I'd say just to be safe, you should be using 3- or 4-phase commit.

      Oh yeah? Well my database goes up to 11-phase commit.

      It's a reference to how much data it can hold. The rest of the FS is taken up by the swap file.

    Can PostgreSQL do replication? Not really.

    That's news to me, I guess the data on our read servers just magically appear and what more magically appear to be the same data we need there.
