PostgreSQL各个版本的性能

原文参见: http://blog.pgaddict.com/posts/performance-since-postgresql-7-4-to-9-4-pgbench

 

基本结论: PostgreSQL性能, 从7.4分到9.4, 提升近8倍.     9.3 and 9.4 give almost the same performance as 9.2 in this particular test, so only 9.2 is on the chart.

Scale

In short, scale determines size of the database as a number of rows in the main "accounts" table - the supplied value gets multiplied by 100.000 and that's how many rows in that table you get. This of course determines the size on disk, as every 100.000 rows corresponds to 15MB on disk (including indexes etc.).

When choosing the scale for your benchmark, you have three basic choices, each testing something slightly different.

small
usually scale between 1-10 (15-150MB databases)
only a small fraction of RAM (assuming regular hardware)
usually exposes locking contention, problems with CPU caches and similar issues not visible with larger scales (where it gets overshadowed by other kinds of overhead - most often I/O)
medium
scales corresponding to ~50% of RAM (e.g. 200-300 on systems with 8GB RAM)
the database fits into RAM (assuming there's enough free memory for queries)
often exposes issues with CPU utilization (especially on read-only workloads) or locking
large
scales corresponding to ~200% of RAM, or more (so 1000 on systems with 8GB RAM)
the database does not fit into RAM, so both modes (read-only and read-write) hit the I/O subsystem
exposes issues with inefficient disk access (e.g. because of missing index) and I/O bottlenecks
