Language Extension Benchmarks

A fairly simple benchmarking application to test type conversions and language speed inside of Postgres language extensions.

Supported Languages

Currently there are only two supported language extensions:

• PLV8
• PLJS

Additional languages and tests are welcome contributions.

Running the Benchmarks

Benchmarks require a Linux, or Unix based environment (BSD, MacOS) in order to run:

./run_benchmarks -p pljs -p plv8

This will execute benchmarks for both pljs and plv8 and the output of the benchmarks will be sent to the output directory.

Note that this will create and then drop a database named benchmarks.

Benchmark Results

To process the benchmark results, node.js should be installed:

./process_results -p pljs -p plv8 -o output.csv

This will analyze the output from the benchmarks and create a csv file named output.csv containing the processed results.
