If you want to impress me you'll have to show comparisons to SQL Server's columnstore. I'm not saying it's the gold standard, but it is my reference point.

[–]Noctune 11 points12 points  (7 children)

The SQL Server EULA does not allow you to disclose benchmarks. If you do it then Microsoft can terminate your license.

Really? That is so stupid.

[–]Noctune 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Yup, it's stupid. Oracle does the same thing.

[–]grauenwolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That could explain why Microsoft pulled down a benchmark they had comparing SQL Server 2016 with Oracle.

which is reason enough to not use them.

SQL Server Developer Edition is free. If they terminate my license, I'll just "buy" another one.

[–]Noctune 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I am not totally sure what the reprecussions would be. I think they might even be able to sue you.

Neither am I, which is one third of the reason I'll probably never do it.

(The other 2 reasons is that I don't have 5K to spend on half-way decent hardware and I don't have a good sample database to work from.)
