PostgreSQL 8.3 vs 8.2: A Simple Benchmark
- davidw 19y agoI like Postgres, but one thing you might infer from this chart is that the defaults stink.
- apathy 19y agoIs there a database for which the defaults don't stink (across all workloads and types)? Oracle and MySQL have defaults that are unsuitable for most busy instances; I don't remember offhand whether DB2 needs tuning, but my intuition suggests it does.
- davidw 19y agoGoing from (possibly faulty) memory, I think that default mysql is closer to tuned mysql in benchmarks. Once upon a time, default Postgresql was really conservative, which hurt it when people didn't tune it before testing it out.
