The goal of the ORM Benchmarking project is to determine how long it takes to execute select statement(s) against a MS SQL Server database and map the returned data to POCO/Dynamic objects in different ORMs. This program executes .Net Framework and .Net Core performance tests for supporting ORMs.

The performance tests are broken in the following lists:

• Performance test of executing one sql command frequently (500 times):

  • Performance of execute one select statement and map a returned row to a POCO object over 500 iterations
  • Performance of execute one select statement and map a returned row to a dynamic object over 500 iterations

• Performance test of mapping database records to POCO/Dynamic objects (5000 row):

  • Performance of mapping 5000 rows returned by one select to POCO objects in one iteration
  • Performance of mapping 5000 rows returned by one select to Dynamic objects in one iteration

Here is list of ORMs and data access technologis that this program tests.

• Pure Ado
• Dapper
• PetaPoco
• ServiceStack.OrmLite
• EntityFramework
• InsightDatabase
• SimpleData
• OrmToolkit
• DevExpress Xpo (Not working with Local DB mode )

Just download the project and run it or add your favorite ORM as a plugin to the project.

• For testing .Net Framework ORMs run OrmBenchmark.Console project.
• For testing .Net Core ORMs run OrmBenchmark.Console.NetCore project.
