HammerDB doesn’t publish competitive database benchmarks, instead we always encourage people to be better informed by running their own. ” Usually when benchmark results are surprising it is a major hint that something could be misconfigured and that certainly seems the case here, so what could it be?

HammerDB is a load testing and benchmarking application for relational databases. All the databases that HammerDB tests implement a form of MVCC (multi-version concurrency control). On high-performance multi-core systems all the supported databases can return performance in the many millions of transactions per minute.

This blindspot usually extends up to the C-suite. This often happens out of an ad-hoc virtual team that forms in earlier stages but is now formalised and has long-term staffing. When database speed or server capacity is the biggest variable, issues affect managers and executives at the same rate they impact end users.
