I’m interested in comparing the performance of postgresql and mysql
on various combinations of user loads and database sizes. I have seen
a few statements to the effect of “mysql is faster for small, low use
applications, but postgresql is better for bigger stuff”. I would like
to run some independent tests to see if this is true.
Before I do this, has anyone done this already, with the latest
versions of both? I think I’ve seen some comparisons that are
somewhat dated.
Does anyone have any pointers on what to do or not do? Or
would anyone be willing to comment on an experiment plan
and suggest improvements? Any help or references are appreciated.
