Hi,

(Yet another link, sorry <g>)

----
PC Week Labs cautions that MySQL shouldn't be compared with higher-end
databases, such as InterBase or PostgreSQL. It's a fundamentally different
product with different design goals.
----
We did run just an online transaction processing single-read test with a
single user. MySQL really smoked, clocking 649 transactions per second, a
result that's about four times faster than InterBase's throughput and more
than 10 times faster than PostgreSQL's throughput at the same user load and
workload.
-----

To me that is

MySQL = 649 Transactions per second
Interbase = 162.25 tps
PostgreSQL = 64.9 tps
