# This file describes how to run MySQL benchmarks with Postgres # # The test was run on a Intel Xeon 2x 550 Mzh machine with 1G memory, # 9G hard disk. The OS is Suse 6.4, with Linux 2.2.14 compiled with SMP # support # Both the perl client and the database server is run # on the same machine. No other cpu intensive process was used during # the benchmark. # # # First, install postgresql-7.0.2.tar.gz # # # Start by adding the following lines to your ~/.bash_profile or # corresponding file. If you are using csh, use īsetenvī. # export POSTGRES_INCLUDE=/usr/local/pgsql/include export POSTGRES_LIB=/usr/local/pgsql/lib PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/pgsql/man # # Add the following line to /etc/ld.so.conf: # /usr/local/pgsql/lib and run ldconfig. # # untar the postgres source distribution and cd to src/ # run the following commands: # ./configure gmake gmake install mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data su - postgres /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data su postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -o -F -D /usr/local/pgsql/data" & su postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test" # # Second, install packages DBD-Pg-0.95.tar.gz and DBI-1.14.tar.gz, # available from http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ # # # Now we run the test that can be found in the sql-bench directory in the # MySQL 3.23 source distribution. # # We did run two tests: # The standard test run-all-tests --comment="Intel Xeon, 2x550 Mhz, 1G, pg started with -o -F" --user=postgres --server=pg --cmp=mysql # and a test where we do a vacuum() after each update. # (The time for vacuum() is counted in the book-keeping() column) run-all-tests --comment="Intel Xeon, 2x550 Mhz, 1G, pg started with -o -F" --user=postgres --server=pg --cmp=mysql --fast # If you want to store the results in a output/RUN-xxx file, you should # repeate the benchmark with the extra option --log --use-old-result # This will create a the RUN file based of the previous results # run-all-tests --comment="Intel Xeon, 2x550 Mhz, 1G, pg started with -o -F" --user=postgres --server=pg --cmp=mysql --log --use-old-result run-all-tests --comment="Intel Xeon, 2x550 Mhz, 1G, pg started with -o -F" --user=postgres --server=pg --cmp=mysql --fast --log --use-old-result
