Write Operation: MongoDB Vs PostgreSQL 9.3 (JSON)

PostgreSQL 9.3 has lot of new improvement like the addition of new operators for JSON data type in postgreSQL, that prompted me to explore its features for NoSQL capabilities.

MongoDB is one of NoSQL solutions that have gotten a great deal of attention in the NoSQL market. So, this time I thought to do some benchmarking with the NoSQL capability of JSON in MongoDB and the JSON datatype in PostgreSQL 9.3

For this benchmark, I have used the same machine with no optimization in installation of PostgreSQL and MongoDB (since I wanted to see how things work, out of box with default installation). And I used the sample data from MongoDB's site, around which I had developed the functions which can generate random data using the same sample for Mongo and for PostgreSQL.

In this benchmarking, I have verified following:
1. PostgreSQL COPY Vs Mongo-Import
2. Data Disk Size of PostgreSQL and Mongo for same amount of data.
3. PostgreSQL INSERT Vs Mongo Insert

Some specification before I would display the result:
1. Operating System: CentOS 6.5, 64 bit.
2. Total Memory: 1.538 GB
3. MongoDB version: 2.4.9
4. PostgreSQL: 9.3

Below is the results which I have got:

For Bulkload (COPY Vs MongoImport):
  
# of rows            1000               10000         100000          1000000
mongo-import (ms)    86.241679          569.761325      6940.837053   68610.69793
PG COPY (ms)         27.36344           176.705094      1769.641917   24801.23291


Disk space utilization:

 
# of rows           1000        10000         100000         1000000
mongo disks (mb)    208         208           208.2033236    976
pg size (mb)     0.3515625      3.2890625     32.71875       326.8984375



For INSERTs:

 
# of Inserts         1000         10000         100000         1000000
MONGO INSERTS (sec)  0.521397404  4.578372454   43.92753611    449.4023542
PG INSERTS (sec)     0.326254529  4.169742939   32.21799302    319.2562722


If you look at above stats, you can see PostgreSQL JSON is much better in bulk loading and INSERTs.

Best thing is that it takes less space than MongoDB and doesn't eat up much disk space.

Does UPDATE Change ROWID in Oracle?

Yesterday, there was a discussion which was going on OTN (Oracle Forum). I was also part of that discussion. Discussion was about the "Does UPDATE statement change rowid in Oracle?" As per my comment of "UPDATE does not change rowid", one of the user has pointed me that UPDATE statement sometime changes the rowid in Oracle and given me following example. SQL> ed Wrote file afiedt.buf 1 create table moving_rowid ( 2 col1 number primary key, 3 col2 number, 4 col3 number, 5 col4 varchar2(10) 6 ) 7* organization index SQL> / Table created. SQL> insert into moving_rowid values( 1, 2, 3, 'foo' ); 1 row created. SQL> insert into moving_rowid values( 2, 3, 4, 'bar' ); 1 row created. SQL> select rowid, col1, col2, col3, col4 2 from moving_rowid; ROWID COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4 ---------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- *BAEADxsCwQL+ 1 2

PostgreSQL Database Link to Oracle Database on Linux

I have seen question, like "How to make Database Link from PostgreSQL to Oracle?", always floats in PostgreSQL Community Forum. So, I thought to do some research on it and write a Blog. Cybertec (One of The PostgreSQL Database Company) has released a PostgreSQL Module ODBC Link, using which user can make Database link to any other database, including Oracle, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL etc, which have ODBC compliant Data source. Lets see how you can make ODBC Connection from PostgreSQL to any ODBC compliant data source and fetch data. Installation of this module is very simple. Following are the steps which user can follow: 1. Install the unixODBC driver on your linux machine. user can use following useful link for Downloading and Installing the unixODBC Driver: http://www.unixodbc.org/ 2. Download ODBC-Link from following location: http://www.cybertec.at/download/odbc_link/ODBC-Link-1.0.4.tar.gz 3. Untar the downloaded file as given below: tar -zxvf ODBC-Link-1.0.4.

Fix of "ORA-29275: partial multibyte character"

This happened to me when I was trying to migrate the Oracle Database to Advanced Server & PostgreSQL. This kind of error comes if Data in Oracle have some junk/invisible Characters which conversion is unknown. select * from junk_character; 'ORA-29275: partial multibyte character' Oracle Descritption for this error is given below: ORA-29275: partial multibyte character Cause: The requested read operation could not complete because a partial multibyte character was found at the end of the input. Action: Ensure that the complete multibyte character is sent from the remote server and retry the operation. Or read the partial multibyte character as RAW. Which doesn't give much information. To find the the column and rows which have those junk/invisible character user can try following trick. a. Select the data column wise as given below: select col1 from tablename; select col2 from tablename; If you are sure about the columns which has those junk charac
