Well is it SQL or isn't it?

See Dave's post. I looked at that particular database some years ago, and never looked back at it.

2006, 2007I took a look, briefly, some years ago at that database, and never really got into it, even though they have those odd ads in Dr. Dobb's Journal all the time...

It says its the fastest database though? I wonder how it compares to say sqlite

I am not sure. I haven't really worked with sqlite and I hear alot of good things about it. I am tempted to put together a Northwind style of a database, build it on a number of different database platforms, test out performance and write up an article here about the results. Hmmmm... :)

That would be a very interesting article.

There are many different approaches to this, and I have to figure which are the most meaningful and what assumptions should be made...

One of the first assumptions would be that proper order of operations is followed. Be sure to test it though.

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking along the lines of building a test suite app where the user can choose which database platforms he/she has, run tests on the throughput of SELECT statements fetching various numbers of rows ( i.e., first pass would get first 100, then second pass, first 200, then third pass, the first 400 - doubling each time until a certain point, say 1,600.), do the same for INSERTS, UPDATES, and DELETES. One item of caution would be that more databases they choose from, the longer the test has the potential to take. There could be network considerations to take into place. As you can see, this could end up being a pretty big deal. Maybe just start of simple, then advance it. I could just go on and on :rolleyes:
