How to Benchmark

(1) Install this repository and install composer packages.

$ git clone https://github.com/kenjis/php-orm-benchmark.git

You may skip Phalcon by running composer install --ignore-platform-reqs, if you do not have it installed.

(2) Set public folder as your web document root. If you access http://localhost/, you can see the results graph.

(3) Configure fuel/app/config/development/db.php.

(4) Create database php_dev and import schema schema/php_dev.sql.

$ php oil r setup:mysql

(5) Generate config file for Propel.

$ php oil r setup:propel2

(6) Run benchmarks.

$ php oil r benchmark

See http://localhost/.

You can get markdown table for the results.
