I did not spend much time for tuning crash-me or the limits file. In short, here's what I did: - Put engine into ANSI SQL mode by using the following odbc.ini: [ODBC Data Sources] test [test] ServerDB=test ServerNode= SQLMode=3 - Grabbed the db_Oracle package and copied it to db_Adabas - Implemented a 'version' method. - Ran crash-me with the --restart option; it failed when guessing the query_size. - Reran crash-me 3 or 4 times until it succeeded. At some point it justified its name; I had to restart the Adabas server in the table name length test ... - Finally crash-me succeeded. That's it, folks. The benchmarks have been running on my P90 machine, 32 MB RAM, with Red Hat Linux 5.0 (Kernel 2.0.33, glibc-2.0.7-6). Mysql was version 3.21.30, Adabas was version 6.1.15.42 (the one from the promotion CD of 1997). I was using X11 and Emacs while benchmarking. An interesting note: The mysql server had 4 processes, the three usual ones and a process for serving me, each about 2 MB RAM, including a shared memory segment of about 900K. Adabas had 10 processes running from the start, each about 16-20 MB, including a shared segment of 1-5 MB. You guess which one I prefer ... :-) Jochen Wiedmann, joe@ispsoft.de
