Object Oriented Database vs Relational Database

Updates

The next phase of the benchmark program was the update phase. The program traversed the constructed Part tree and updated the description of every third part encountered. This update phase was repeated 5 times in each benchmark run and the time for each run, plus the total time in milliseconds were recorded. The results of the test are shown here (times are in ms).

For a very small number of parts, the RDBMS surpassed the performance of Objectivity. The RDBMS performance seems fairly linear based on the number of parts being updated. Objectivity's update performance increases dramatically as the number of records updated increases, with the final test showing Objectivity outperforming the RDBMS by over 7 times.
