I am *not* primarily interested in embedded, but I know people who are, and I have already compared with SQLite. My main point of concern right now is for more middle sized platforms (such as an average workstation), to be able to answer the question of how Postgres shows in transactions per second against another RDBMS or two. -Will -----Original Message----- From: Scott Marlowe [mailto:scott.marlowe@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 19 March 2009 17:57 To: Will Rutherdale (rutherw) Cc: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Is there a meaningful benchmark?

If you're looking at embedded usage, and footprint is an issue (it usually is even if you think it won't be) look at sqllite. Pretty good embedded db and lightweight. Pgsql is not intended to compete in the embedded space. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
