ScyllaDB vs PostgreSQL
Zero of fourteen models named ScyllaDB first on the direct prompt; zero named PostgreSQL. ScyllaDB was named by ten of the fourteen models and PostgreSQL by nine and ScyllaDB carries 21 labels and PostgreSQL 11, so the shares are not directly comparable.
Named in two categories this edition.
Named in six categories this edition.
Share is the count of first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts over all fourteen models, for a mid-market B2B company; rank is within the category; every quote names the model and the prompt it came from. Both figures come from the nosql databases page.
