PostgreSQL publishes first real benchmark
,----[ Quote ]
| This publication shows that a properly tuned PostgreSQL is not only as
| fast or faster than MySQL, but almost as fast as Oracle (since the
| hardware platforms are different, it's hard to compare directly).
| This is something we've been saying for the last 2 years, and now we
| can prove it.

| [...]
|
| I'll continue this later this week with a discussion of what SpecJAppserver
| is, what it measures, and how the Spec organization is warming up to open
| source.
|
| Regardless, this is a good day for PostgreSQL and open source.
