Thread: PostgreSQL Docs for Paper (benchmark and contrib)
Hello,
I’m writing a paper on PostgreSQL.
I’m looking for:
1) benchmark comparisons of PostgreSQL against other databases
2) Detailed descriptions (or project web sites) of all the ‘contrib’ projects (like dbsize, tsearch, xml, etc).
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!

Most (all?) commercial databases won't let you publish benchmarks, and the only freely available results tend to be on expensive hardware heavily tuned. > 2) Detailed descriptions (or project web sites) of all the 'contrib' > projects (like dbsize, tsearch, xml, etc). New project home for PG-related stuff is at pgfoundry (above) - you might also be interested in: PgAdmin http://www.pgadmin.org/ PgPool ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/cmd/postgres/pgpool/pgpool-2.0.tar.gz Slony http://www.slony.org All the contrib stuff have README files in the source distribution. That should be enought to get you started :-) -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
