Re: MySQL vs. PostgreSQL -- speed test

Hi! First of all, if I decide to benchmark MySQL vs. PostgreSQL with my application, PostgreSQL will probably be faster. That does not mean that MySQL is generally slower or that I *want* it to look slower. That just means 1) I have no experience in tuning MySQL 2) My application was built

MySQL has posted a very interesting comparison on their website. It appears to be a reasonably fair evaluation. PostgreSQL was faster than MySQL in some areas and MySQL was faster than PostgreSQL in most areas. For speed with all of that functionality, I'd be more inclined to look at DB2

If maximum speed is critical. It's easy to lose sight of the fact that speed is not the only criterion in choosing a DBMS. Features, stability, security, and so on can be just as important or more so. No single DBMS is going to win all the prizes; the trick is to find the one with

which PostgreSQL version have you testet? If you want compare MySQL and PostgreSQL, than you have to use InnoDB tables. Tests with MyISAM make no sense. Out J2EE Application is working woth PostgreSQL 7.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.13 with InnoDB tables (we need transactions and referencial

I agree with your opinion in 100%, but in my case I need DBMS with features like subselectes/utf-8/stored procedures but the speed is also very important issue. You might have to spend money! You are saying that there is DBMS with all this features and it is as fast as MySQL ? --

As a minor side issue, we did some _very limited_ testing with MS SQLServer 2000 using unicode v ascii queries. Using unicode, queries tended to run at about half the speed compare to using ascii. This was client server, so it is likely that the increased network traffic is to blame, but
