JDBC Driver Performance Benchmarks
Progress DataDirect compared its Type 5 JDBC drivers against competing drivers for a variety of database operations. In our test methodology, we compared the capacity and efficiency of the drivers by isolating and testing these key variables: throughput, CPU efficiency, and memory usage.
- Superior throughput — DataDirect throughput is unmatched, on average processing 20-500% more work in a given time period. For example, in a test that simulates a monthly report in which many records are fetched, the DataDirect driver is up to 1450% faster. And in most tests, DataDirect driver throughput stays high and even increases as more users are added.
- Greater CPU efficiency — DataDirect drivers use considerably fewer CPU cycles to deliver superior throughput than competing drivers—in many cases, greater than 150% more CPU efficient.
- Smaller memory footprint — DataDirect drivers use significantly less memory while doing more work than performance-limiting Type 4 drivers—in some cases saving over 400% in memory.
- Robust Type 5 Architecture - The Connect for JDBC Type 5 driver architecture delivers superior results over competing drivers when it comes to throughput performance and CPU/memory usage.
- Answers Type 4 Limitations - Comparisons with outdated Type 4 drivers reveal many weaknesses and potential failure points for older driver architectures.
- Performance Tuning Wizard - DataDirect's Performance Tuning Wizard takes the guesswork out of JDBC driver configuration and ensures optimal application performance out-of-the-box.
