ADO.NET Data Provider PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKS

Progress DataDirect Connect ADO.NET Data Provider compared its performance against competing providers 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, in some cases up to 225% faster in tests that simulate fetching many records. In many cases, DataDirect provider throughput stays high and even increases as more users are added.
  • Greater CPU efficiency — DataDirect providers use considerably fewer CPU cycles to deliver superior throughput than competing data providers—in some cases, over 400% more CPU efficient.
  • Smaller memory footprint — DataDirect has 100% managed code ADO.NET data providers, so the overall memory footprint will be significantly less because competing providers rely on unmanaged code in the database client libraries—in some cases, saving over 150% in memory.
  • Robust feature set - DataDirect Connect for ADO.NET data providers offer a wide array of performance-enhancing features that ensure superior throughput and more efficient CPU and memory usage.
  • Performance Tuning Wizard - DataDirect's Performance Tuning Wizard takes the guesswork out of ADO.NET data provider configuration and ensures optimal application performance out-of-the-box
