Popularity:578 ℃/2025-05-04 21:49:38

The following isOracle、MySQL、SQL Server、PostgreSQL、RedisComparative analysis of the five major databases, fromUsage, data processing method, high concurrency capability, advantages and disadvantagesExpand in equal dimensions:


1. Database classification

database type Core scenario
Oracle Relational database Enterprise-level complex transaction processing
MySQL Relational database Web applications, small and medium-sized business systems
SQL Server Relational database Enterprise-level applications (especially Microsoft ecosystem)
PostgreSQL Relational database Complex query, GIS/timing and other extended scenarios
Redis Key-value pair memory database Cache, real-time data processing, queueing

2. Comparison of core differences

1. use

database Typical uses
Oracle Enterprise-level core systems such as finance and telecommunications, with high reliability and strong transaction consistency scenarios.
MySQL Web applications (such as e-commerce, CMS), small and medium-sized business systems, with a wide open source ecosystem.
SQL Server Enterprise-level ERP, CRM (Microsoft Ecosystem), and deep integration of Windows platforms.
PostgreSQL Complex analysis, GIS geographic data, time series data (TimescaleDB extension), JSON document storage, etc.
Redis Cache (such as Session storage), real-time rankings, message queues (Pub/Sub), high-frequency read/write scenarios.

2. Data processing method

database Data Model Transaction support Extensibility
Oracle Relational type (ACID) Strong consistency, supporting distributed transactions Scaling horizontally through RAC
MySQL Relational type (ACID) Support transactions (InnoDB engine) Master-slave copy, the library and table should be manually divided
SQL Server Relational type (ACID) Strong consistency, distributed transactions Scaling with AlwaysOn cluster
PostgreSQL Relational type (ACID) Support transactions, MVCC mechanism Supports logical replication and rich extension plug-ins
Redis Key-value pairs (supports multiple data structures) Weak transactions (Lua script or Pipeline) Redis Cluster

3. High concurrency processing capability

database Concurrency Model Performance Features Applicable scenarios
Oracle Multi-threading, lock mechanism optimization High concurrent write capability, but high resource consumption High load enterprise-level OLTP
MySQL Multithreading (InnoDB engine) Read more and write less scene optimization, and the writing bottleneck is more obvious Small and medium-sized web applications
SQL Server Multi-threaded, lock granularity control Medium and high concurrency, Windows platform performance optimization Enterprise-level OLTP (Microsoft Ecosystem)
PostgreSQL Multi-process, MVCC lock-free design Complex query performance is strong, writing concurrency is slightly weak OLAP or hybrid load
Redis Single threading (avoid lock competition) Ultra-high performance (100,000+QPS), pure memory operation High frequency read/write cache, real-time data processing

4. Comparison of advantages and disadvantages

database Advantages Disadvantages
Oracle High reliability, comprehensive functions, enterprise-level support Expensive, complex, and high hardware requirements
MySQL Lightweight, open source, easy to deploy, and ecologically perfect Functional limitations (such as window function support is late), weak scalability
SQL Server High ease of use, Microsoft ecosystem integration, and powerful BI tools Close source, weak cross-platform capabilities, high licensing fees
PostgreSQL Rich features (JSON, GIS, full text search, etc.), strong extensibility High resource consumption and complex writing performance optimization
Redis Extremely high performance, flexible data structure (List/Hash/Set, etc.) Data size is limited by memory, persistence may cause data loss

3. Selection suggestions

  1. Enterprise-level core system: Oracle (adequate budget) or PostgreSQL (open source alternative).

  2. Web applications/small and medium-sized systems: MySQL (simple scenario) or PostgreSQL (complex query).

  3. Microsoft Eco-Integration:SQL Server。

  4. Real-time cache/high frequency reading and writing: Redis (used with relational database).

  5. GIS/Timing/JSON Extensions: PostgreSQL + extension plug-ins (such as PostGIS, TimescaleDB).


4. Additional instructions

  • Redis and other databases: Usually asCache layerUse with relational databases (such as MySQL) to alleviate high concurrency pressure.

  • OLTP vs OLAP: Oracle/MySQL/SQL Server focuses on OLTP; PostgreSQL can take into account OLAP; Redis is not suitable for analysis scenarios.

  • Open Source vs Business: MySQL/PostgreSQL/Redis is open source; Oracle/SQL Server requires commercial authorization.

Through the above comparison, you can select the appropriate database combination based on business needs (transaction complexity, scalability, performance, cost).
