MySQL Performance Benchmarks

To meet the service levels demanded by your users, your database-based application needs to deliver high performance and scalability. In addition, it requires complete data availability, which includes fault tolerance, service uptime, and throughput. In short, performance and service uptime are the two most important criteria to ensure an application operates at expected levels.

This paper discusses the performance of MySQL. It highlights the database elements that can be measured and adjusted during a benchmark. In addition it delivers a set of benchmark results obtained from third parties and internal tests run at the MySQL Test Labs that demonstrate MySQL's ability to meet the most demanding service levels.

• MySQL demonstrated the best overall performance in eWeek's ecommerce benchmark
• MySQL delivered the best cost per transaction value in the SPECjAppServer2002 benchmark
• MySQL shows near linear scalability in a multi-CPU environment with SysBench benchmarks
