looking for a comparison between different databases

[Former Member]

Hello, I hope somebody in here can help me...

A while ago a link was posted on this forum. This link took you to a webpage where a comparison between different databases was made. A chart was also present. Ofcause Oracle was in top and SQL Server was close behind followed by PostgreSQL (I not 100% sure about PostgreSQL,though) but the next database was SQL Anywhere.

I tried looking for this comparision (also with the help of google) but because i do not remember more then I written I have not been successfull in finding it, please can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance

The SQL Anywhere information is incomplete; e.g., row-level locking, maximum column name size are both "?"

Very wild guess: You are not relating to TPC benchmarks, do you?

Thank you for your posts, but that's not it. I remember the Post was made from someone from SAP and they were happy about the result...It might even be 1-1,5 years ago...

You mean that one (though it's relating to the same issue I had mentioned...)?

• Vendor Announcement: SAP SQL Anywhere 16 smashes TPC-C Price/Performance record

well I'm gonna get the stubborn label for this 🙂

Well no, it also contained a graphic Picture and SQL Anywhere was not on top...now I'm questioning myself, perhaps it was Another database forum...and not a SAP Post....

[VolkerBarth]

So what was the comparison about? Features? Performance? Customer value? Market share (well, probably not...)?

As to the "...not a SAP Post...":

Here's one with DB2 at the right: http://sqlanywhere.blogspot.ca/2011/01/friday-file.html

Here's a more complete reference

Ha ha ha, very funny Volker

No it was Performance and Features. And now I'm more sure it was a SQL-Server Forum...So bye for now

I would suggest that someone from SAP is adding the missing information...

There are six commonly recognized models (types) of database that are useful for different types of data or information. Depending upon your specific needs, one of these models should be appropriate for your migration from paper based systems to a database.

Relational database Flat-file database Hierarchical & Network database Object-oriented database Object-relational database
