At what task - that bit is important. For example sqlite is incredibly quick and efficient and blows Oracle away for a small database. Oracle is slow at 100 records, however unlike most of the more basic databases Oracle is the same speed or thereabouts at a million records as at 100. Are you thinking of large databases or small ones, latency or throughput ? What sort of application ?
