Unfortunately, most database tests are synthetic and not very helpful.
Compounding the problem is that the 'best' way to use the database
differs between platforms (case in point: with postgresql you want to
use stored procedures for simple qeries, and with mysql you don't want
to use them).
There are a couple of public benchmarks out there...you could try
hitting one of them. But this is no substitute for developing
simulations of your workload and doing your own in-house benchmarks.
is there a particular reason for wanting to compare various sql databases?
