Database Connection Benchmark
|
||||
=============================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What it the minimal time to get any result from a database?
|
||||
|
||||
We open a connection, perform a trivial query (current_timestamp is
|
||||
probably fine) and disconnect.
|
||||
|
||||
There are (at least) three times we are interested in:
|
||||
|
||||
* The time from initiating the connection to the end.
|
||||
* Same plus the time to load any necessary libraries
|
||||
* Same plus the overhead of starting the script
|
||||
|
||||
The first is the one important for long-running servers which for some
|
||||
reason don't want to keep a persistent connection to the database.
|
||||
|
||||
The last is for command line tools, CGI scripts, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
The second doesn't have that much practical importance. That's just
|
||||
personal curiosity.
