Where can that benchmark be found?

Porqué usar una base de datos relacional cualquiera,
si podés usar PostgreSQL?

If you're speaking of src/test/bench/, it's a pretty old and crufty
implementation. (For one thing, it runs the benchmark in a standalone
backend, not in the normal multiuser environment, which already counts
as cooking the results IMHO. Someone ought to clean it up.)
If you're speaking of the Wisconsin benchmark in the abstract, I think
it's not used very much anymore; people seem to put more faith in the
various TPC benchmark designs.

There are some explanations of why people don't like Wisconsin much
any more, and what sorts of workarounds you can use with Wisconsin in
order to address some of those worries, at

Due to the recent efforts of the developers, it's ability to be ported to other platforms is really coming along (if you're a decent C coder, you can probably get it running on Windows, *BSD, AIX, etc without too much effort). It's a true multi-user database benchmark, and is working on PostgreSQL, and MySQL, and I think Informix is now working too. Hope that's helpful. :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift > A > > -- > ---- > Andrew Sullivan 87 Mowat Avenue > Liberty RMS Toronto, Ontario Canada > <andrew@libertyrms.info> M6K 3E3 > +1 416 646 3304 x110 > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? > > http://archives.postgresql.org -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.
