The unstoppable rise of open source databases. One database in particular is causing a huge dent in Oracle’s market share – open source PostgreSQL. See how open source PostgreSQL Community version costs compare to Oracle Standard Edition and Oracle Enterprise Edition. What’s causing this massive shift?

After the “data dictionary” (DD) engine and DD cache are initialized on a server, the Storage Engines can ask for a table definition. the IBD file is “self-describing”; for example, the table schema is available within an IBD file. This search tuple (key) is used to find the record to perform the undo operation.

This will be clearly visible in PostgreSQL performance benchmarks as a “ Sawtooth wave ” pattern observed by Vadim in his tests: As we can see, the throughput suddenly drops after every checkpoint due to heavy WAL writing and gradually picks up until the next checkpoint. They do a much better job than what was available in PostgreSQL (pglz).
