TPC-B


TPC is the benchmark tests definition by "Transaction Processing Performanc Counsil"

TPC-B is defined at 1990, deplicated 1995This test assume batch operation with many parallel transactions. Simulation dealing account between branches in bank.

Usin 4 tablescreate table branches(bid int not

null,bbalance int,filler char(88));create table tellers(tid int not null,bid

int,tbalance int,filler char(84));create table accounts(aid int not null,bid

int,abalance int,filler char(84));create table history(tid int,bid int,aid int,delta

int,mtime timestamp,filler char(22))


TPC-B


Processing isupdate accounts set abalance = abalance

+ :delta where aid = :aid;select abalance from accounts where aid

= :aid; update tellers set tbalance = tbalance

+ :delta where tid = :tid; update branches set bbalance = bbalance +

:delta where bid = :bid;insert into history(tid,bid,aid,delta)

values(:tid,:bid,:aid,:delta);


Scaling Factor


Scaling factor is test scaleScaling factor affects

Branch count equals scaling factorTeller count is scaling factor * 10Account count is scaling factor * 100,000

So I use scaling factor 100Branch is 100, Teller is 1000, Accounts is 10,000,000Firebird database almost 600MB, MySQL is almost

1.2GB

on Linux, Firebird is very slow!!



Ext3 vs XFS


I assume Filesystem? Using Fire bird2.5SC


Linux+XFS is very Fast!


Test with XFS for many clients


Results Benchmarks are rough estimation at all.

Firebird2.5 is very fast than other RDBMSs.

Normaly running many clients over 500 .


Coming Soon

Japanese publisher "Shoei-sya" will publish new Firebird book in Japan at December 2009.
