Get up in the morning

A news story swept the screen

China’s homegrown database overtakes Oracle to become the world’s no. 1

It’s still exciting to see the news

Especially even academicians have given a positive

So I went to the TPC website

Want to see the details about this list

We will find that

left

The record is NB

But it’s not as NB as we thought


Let’s start with the official list

The list is too long, with more than 370 lines

I picked the top 30

left


This is according to the performance test results

Indeed, Ant Financial is no. 1

60880800 tpmC

No. 2 is Oracle

30249688 tpmC


This number represents the number of transactions that can be processed per minute

From the performance test results

“Ant” is indeed twice as big as “Oracle bone Script”

• • •


And that’s how Winky won?



Check out this morning’s viral post

Compare TPC official test results


In my opinion, it is inappropriate to say “breaking the world record held by Oracle for 9 years” and “Oracle database has dominated the world for 9 years”.


At the top of this list

There is a very obvious sentence

left

Results displayed with a grey background are Historical Results, which might not be up to date with regards to pricing and/or availability of HW or SW.

Well, tell us that very clearly

“All gray background test results

Expired due to software and hardware upgrades.”

Test results, valid for only 3 years

That’s when we found out

In the whole list

Only ants tested on a white background

Other companies have been absent from testing for too long

All the previous test results are out of date


So, we can only say

“Ant Financial OceanBase now performs twice as well as Oracle database did nine years ago.”



As for what champion is not champion

We’re not in the same place.

It’s really impossible to compare


Nine years later, so much has changed in hardware and software

Nine years ago we thought cloud computing was crap


For more details, we can click on the link

See the hardware and software environment for the test

left

Total system cost:
380452842 yuan

For server hardware, Ant used 420 Intel Xeon Platinum 8163, with a total of 6,720 cores and 13,440 threads

.

The database is OceanBase2.2



Total system cost:
$30,528,863 ≈213,702,041 RMB

The server uses 108 SUN Sparc T3, with a total of 1728 cores and 13824 threads.

The database is Oracle 11G R2

There’s one more thing:
As of December 2, 2013


Look at the details

We can have a more accurate description

left

“Nine years later, Ant Financial was about 1.5 times the cost of Oracle’s system and twice its test performance.”


And it can’t be ignored

Over the past 9 years, hardware performance has developed with each passing day

Oracle11g then, 19c now

If Oracle were to test it now

There will be no problem with setting a new record and winning first place

And the number should be a lot more than “twice.”


After reading this list of tests, I’m a little curious

Why in the last decade

Oracle, Microsoft, IBM

All of them stopped showing up for the test

Instead, let the test record expire

Perhaps people no longer value vanity

More emphasis on actual combat



So, from the “break core technology monopoly” point of view

OceanBase is to be congratulated for coming out on top

As a true practitioner of “de-IOE”

Over the years, Ali department of many products

Have made good results and breakthroughs

I’ve seen a lot of great writing

To tell the development history of “Ali Technology” in the past 10 years

Moving, tearjerker

That is the result of unbelief and unyielding of generations of technical people


But we also need to look at the gap more objectively

Pay more attention and respect to your opponents

Expect OceanBase to step out of the Ali system more

Look forward to ali product technology more out of ali department

Applied to more industrial production systems

Look forward to more China core, China OS, China database

Out of the lab, out of PPT, out of the test bureau

Go with the “contemporary” products of “Daliao”

To compete
