| Hi to all. I'd like to benchmark PG. I'd like to compare sorting performances (time spent, #of disk accesses, # of run produced etc) of the present Replacement Selection (external sorting) algorithm and of a refinement I'm going to implement. I'm new on PG, I just had the idea of how to possibly get better that algorithm and choosed to test it on PG since it's an open-source DBMS. I've been searching the web for a benchmark. I suppose TPC-H and Wisconsin could fit, but had problems when trying to use them. Any suggestion on a "good benchmark"? Any tutorial on how to use them? Thanks for your time. Regards. Manolo. __________________________________________________ _______________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

| Hi Josh! Thanks for your reply. Actually I forgot to mention PGBench, sorry. But I also forgot to mention I'm looking for an "impartial"... I mean "outer" tool to test PG. Any suggestion, please?

If you want to compare sorting performance in particular, running a big query that needs a big sort will be much more useful than a generic DBMS benchmark like TPC-H. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@postgresql.org so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly |
