XML parsing: a threat to database performance
Matthias Nicola,Jasmi John +1 more
TL;DR: Comparing relational database performance shows that the desired response times and transaction rates over XML data can not be achieved without major improvements in XML parsing technology, and identifies research topics which are most promising for XML parser performance in database systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance modeling of distributed and replicated databases
Matthias Nicola,Matthias Jarke +1 more
TL;DR: This paper surveys performance models for distributed and replicated database systems and selects a combination of these proven modeling concepts and gives an example of how to compose a balanced analytical model of a replicated database.
Proceedings Article
Native XML support in DB2 universal database
TL;DR: A forthcoming version of DB2 Universal Database® is enhanced with comprehensive native XML support, which makes DB2 a true hybrid database system which places equal weight on XML and relational data management.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An XML transaction processing benchmark
TL;DR: This paper has developed an application-oriented and domain-specific benchmark called "Transaction Processing over XML" (TPoX), which exercises all aspects of XML databases, including storage, indexing, logging, transaction processing, and concurrency control.
Proceedings Article
Improving Performance in Replicated Databases through Relaxed Coherency
TL;DR: This paper incorporates this metric into a detailed analytical queueing model which emphasizes on the quality of replication to evaluate the impact of relaxed coherency on the performance of replicated databases, and shows that in many situations a slight relaxation of co herency can increase performance remarkably.
