Wow, Simon! :-)) yes, I'm working in Sun Benchmark Center :-)) (I'm not using my Sun email on public lists only to avid a spam) and as came here and asking questions it's probably proving my intentions to show PostgreSQL in its best light, no?.. - I never liked "not honest" comparisons :-)) Regarding your bet: from a very young age I learned a one thing - you take any 2 person who betting for any reason - you'll find in them one idiot and one bastard :-)) idiot - because betting while missing knowledge, and bastard - because knowing the truth is not honset to get a profit from idiots :-)) That's why I never betting in my life, but every time telling the same story in such situation... Did you like it? ;-)) However, no problem to give you a credit as well to all pg-perf list as it provides a very valuable help! :-)) Rgds, -Dimitri On 5/12/09, Simon Riggs <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Tue, 2009-05-12 at 12:19 +0200, Dimitri wrote: > >> For my big surprise, MySQL was faster! > > Ours too. > > ** I bet you $1000 that I can improve the performance of your benchmark > results with PostgreSQL.
