If you'd like to compare various SQL databases, you may consider having same comparison baseline: same database object(s) definition, same XML schema(s), same set of input XML files (and different schema-database tables mapping xmls - if any). The client code would rely on database packages/APIs. [Note: with x-Persistent Utility
your client code will remain unchanged]. As for native XML database as a benchmark one - it could be, probably, a separate task to identify the database that would suite your performance criteria(s).
Well, Im a student doing a project to compare between (Oracle-Tamino) databases in storing and querying XML documents, I already generated the xml documents and loaded them to the databases ( I used XMark benchmark) BUT now am facing problem with measuring query response time .
what i need is 2 know how u measure the performance for those databases?? Is there a tool I can use to measure the performance?? or can I use se timing on function from Oracle and _duration=on function in Tamino???
Can I relay on those functions to measure the query time response ???
