Performance

Don’t just take our word for it

Performance is what really sets Mimer SQL apart from the competition, and performance is what makes the difference when we sieve through very large datasets. But performance is also what makes Mimer SQL so efficient and allows us to squeeze the last cycles out of a CPU to our advantage.

The modern code base and state-of-the-art design of Mimer SQL is the secret sauce that made our optimizations possible. Our habit of continuously challenging ourselves, re-evaluating our algorithms, and scrutinizing our solutions has payed off, as we noticed when we decided to pitch Mimer SQL against the competition.

There are two major benchmarks in the database world, TCP-H and TCP-C, and we used those as inspiration for testing out Mimer SQL in real world situations. These benchmarks test a database where it counts, such as in analytics and transaction processing, so we used those on the same hardware and with the same conditions.

These are the results, and we think the numbers speak for themselves.

OLTP – Online transaction processing

This is OLTP performance, a throughput performance test, where the goal is to perform as many transactions possible per minute.

OLAP – Online analytical processing

The second benchmark we did was in analytical performance, OLAP, where the goal is to spend as little time as possible on all the queries this benchmark contains.
