Indeed. For databases, the equivalent test is

'select count('a') from some_table;'

It is not very useful as a measurement either,
some dbs actually traverse the table,
and some has a cached counter.

But what you really want is good performance
(whatever that is) for real applications,
not a constructed example that has little or no relevance.
