Hi,
today I did my first test with Oracle instead of PG (I had to really the boss
wanted it \:).
I have some perl-scripts using DBI, that insert a large amount of data, reduce
it and then create some report.
When I insert I do something like $dbh->{'AutoCommit'} = 0 and every 100,000
entries or so I do a commit. I use DBI's prepard_statements, although if I re-
member the manpage correctly that does not have too much impact on PG?
However the result was (running on 64bit Sol 7, E250/1Gig RAM) that Oracle was
roughly twice as fast. Is this real or might there be stuff I could do, to im-
prove postgres performance?
