Re: FrontBase vs. MySQL performance comparisons?

Hi Brendan,

As far as I can judge, every DB engine has its strengths and weaknesses 
(well almost... if you do not consider few Mickey Mouse databases 
pre-installed on Mac...). In the past we evaluated MySQL and others for 
similar reasons as you do now. For some small or moderately sized 
databases schemas MySQL could be a bit faster (I do not remember 
details any more, but I believe the best we got was something like 
10-15%). But with the size growing, FB was a very clear front runner. 
Actually, we had situations, where MySQL stopped running at all, where 
FB was happily outperforming any other vendor.


later...
