I would love it if even one of the database experts who are so sure that the comparisons are somehow rigged, would actually run their own benchmark to prove it wrong instead of just speculating. Get any moderately sized table (millions of rows and a dozen or more columns) on your 'highly-tuned' postgres database with all the proper indexes in place and load that same data into Didgets (takes a whole 10 minutes to download the software and start using it) and run whatever queries suits your fancy.

My post doesn't assume bad intent. As the new entrant in a space, the onus is on you to show your work. So, if you want people to run their own benchmark then share the data and configs you used. I actually tried to find the dataset you used yesterday to run my own benchmark, but the only official "Chicago crime database" I could find had only 300k rows and 19 columns, so I assumed it wasn't the same data you mention in your video.

  Here is the link where you can download the latest crime data for the Chicago police department (just export to CSV format): https://data.cityofchicago.org/Public-Safety/Crimes-2001-to-Present/ijzp-q8t2 https://data.cityofchicago.org/Public-Safety/Crimes-2001-to-... Even though I replied to your post, it was more of a general observation than to you specifically. My video has been viewed over a thousand times. I get comments all the time that say it can't be real or that I must be handicapping the other databases (I also have a video comparing to SQLite) by not configuring them correctly. I have yet to have a single person who claims to be a database expert try it out on their own favorite data set and tell me that they found Didgets to be slower than their preferred database engine.
