Performance Benchmarks
Background
To minimize their overall costs and data management complexities, companies are looking to consolidate their databases as much as possible. However, this means that performance is a big factor in their database decisions.
Most of the databases today require numerous parameter and/or other complex tuning changes in order to get acceptable database performance levels.
SharkSQL provides outstanding database performance – right out of the box.
pgbench Benchmark Validation
To validate the performance levels of SharkSQL, the PostgreSQL benchmark known as pgbench was used to compare SharkSQL to other databases on the market today.
pgbench is a simple program for running benchmark tests on PostgreSQL. It runs the same sequence of SQL commands over and over, possibly in multiple concurrent database sessions, and then calculates the average transaction rate (transactions per second). By default, pgbench tests a scenario that is loosely based on TPC-B, involving five SELECT, UPDATE, and INSERT commands per transaction
