Обсуждение: Performance of PostgreSQL and Oracle

Hello,
I have seen some performance testing indicates that apparently the PostgreSQL 8 is faster in writing data while seems
likeOracle 10g is better in reading data from database, can any one tell me why? Or is there anyone done performance
benchmarkon them before? 
This is urgent.
Thanks.

You won't find anything particularly definitive on this, because Oracle
forbids publishing benchmarks of their software.
