Technology: Software runs on any database |
|
The R&D team of MP Objects has compared the performance of Oracle, Firebird, PostgreSQL and MySQL relational databases for the MPO Supply Chain Suite. The research shows that each database has specific performance characteristics with respect to reading vs. writing and small vs. high number of concurrent users. Interestingly, commercial databases like Oracle are not generally superior to open source databases like MySQL.
In many cases the database product is prescribed by the software vendor. For a user organization, running multiple database products leads to higher license, maintenance and support costs. Therefore, the software of MP Objects has been made fully database independent. The MPO Supply Chain Suite can change from one database product to another by simply changing the configuration settings and restarting the system. Theory in practice!
