The 007 Benchmark

Abstract

The OO7 Benchmark represents a comprehensive test of OODBMS performance. In this paper we describe the benchmark and present performance results from its implementation in three OODBMS systems. It is our hope that the OO7 Benchmark will provide useful insight for end-users evaluating the performance of OODBMS systems; we also hope that the research community will find that OO7 provides a database schema, instance, and workload that is useful for evaluating new techniques and algorithms for OODBMS implementation.
