I’d like to get a feedback on my Open source project of performance comparison of three databases: MS SQL, MySQL and PostgreSQL for 26 R1 preview. 

I’d like to hear how deep is my analysis, what else can be added or removed? And of course if that is worthy of attention.

​@Yuriy Zaletskyy great work, thanks for sharing!

One thing that bothers me is that on Spider chart the colors do not match colors on other charts.

​@Yuriy Zaletskyy it would be great to see an updated comparison using 2026R2. I’m hoping to see improvement now that it’s fully supported.

​@Yuriy Zaletskyy , this is great analysis and really helpful.

I am not sure about MySQL or PostgreSQL as I haven’t used it. But as you have mentioned in SQL, it is much faster in processing the request. One thing which usually comes from the customer that, the screen loads slower usually which I notice is when they have blob or images on the screen. At the same time, when multiple tabs are open with any parallel processing. This will be worth analyzing and adding to your library.

I updated my tests results just yesterday. It covers much more end to end testing, also it was done on my personal laptop. I’d be looking forward for feedback.
