Duck Hunt: An Independent Benchmark of DuckDB-Powered MySQL

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Everybody’s putting a “Duck” in their database: AliSQL, MariaDB, VillageSQL, Percona, Postgres. The promise is fast analytics on your OLTP data. So we went hunting.

Every engine ran the same TPC-H workload on the same hardware, against InnoDB, PostgreSQL and plain DuckDB. A timing only counted once its answer was checked. The speedups are real, but there might be a few unexpected surprises.

Come find out what these ducks are good at and where they bite!
