Unless there is an alternative, benchmarking the software that you are going to use seems pretty reasonable.

- d4mi3n 5y agoI think OP was pointing out that this was an apple to oranges comparison—in that the comparison ends up being of little use due to poor rigor configuring each test case.
- marginalia_nu 5y agoThe thing is that it isn't informative. It only tells you that in this particular benchmark, such-and-such is so-much faster. This does not extrapolate to your real world use cases unless by some fluke it happens to be a major bottleneck in your application. The only actually informative benchmark is to port your application to use each of the the database engines, and then benchmark your application. That will maybe tell you something. Odds are what you were using before has a home field advantage by being fairly well optimized, so even then it doesn't tell you as much as you might believe.
- jhgb 5y agoAs I noted, you'd probably want to do this conversion before import anyway, so none of the results may be of practical interest if you decide to go down that road. But maybe query performance tests on already imported data would be of interest.
