To all:
it's nice that this topic finally leads to a "theoretical and experimental
analysis of current xml db technology" type of thing.
I have summarize the great ideas you guys have proposed for the analysis
and added in my own understanding and thoughts. Indeed it seems something that
could contribute to the maturity of the xml db technology, if the we have more
theoretical stuff stuck in. Shall we team up for a research topic if not
enough for a project as steve suggested? Send email to me or steve if you vote
for this idea...
** "theoretical and experimental analysis of current xml db
technology"**
Z)Theoretical comparison
1* index structure and indexing behavior
2*
memeory leaking handling
3* recovery strategy
4* XUpdate semantics
A) XML:DB tests ---------------
1* access times for adding
documents graphed against total resource count
2* access times for
deleting documents graphed against total resource count
3* access times
for updating documents graphed against total resource count
B) XML:DB:XPATH tests ------------------------
1* access times for
querying documents graphed against total resource count -for single document
match -for multiple document match
2* perform more and more general query
to find the maximum ResourceSet size which can be managed
C) Stress & Robustness tests --------------------------
1*
repeatedly add a single smallish document with different id to get max
resource count possible within a collection
2* update a single document
repeatedly, while increasing it's size, to get max single resource size
3.
increasing the collection size with a constant load util the instability of
the db is
observed.
