PostgreSQL or MySQL: Which is faster?
,----[ Quote ]
| It's easy to find benchmarks that favor one database over another,
| depending on the hardware, the configuration and the test. One database
| might do better on a single-core machine with little memory, while
| another can take better advantage of scaling to multiple core processors.
| One might lead on reads while another leads on writes.
|
| * This MySQL vs. Postgres demonstrates MySQL is faster.
| * Benchw results shows PostgreSQL as being faster.
| * The Windows Skills blog shows MySQL is faster.
