The Bug Tracker Test

Like most bug trackers, ours has suffered from feature bloat over time, and requires about 16 queries to display the browse page.

None of the queries is particularly difficult - except one of them requires a double join against the "users" table to get the name of the submittor and who it is assigned to.

Frankly, I expected that MySQL would easily win this test - selects and joins are its bread and butter. So again, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Postgres won this test handily.
