Abstract
Object-oriented databases integrated into a C++ software engineering environment promise an appealing platform for managing complex data and engineering tasks. In competitive markets like CAD for civil engineering and architecture stringent reliability and performance criteria must be met before entering into commercial products. We present a benchmark study specifically tailored to such CAD domains. The results reveal that the big promises of the ODBS lobby begin to become reality, though several areas can be pointed out where further improvements are clearly needed.
This work was done under the direction of W. Kießling as part of the OCAD project on object-oriented databases for CAD, funded by Nemetschek Programmsystem GmbH, Munich and by the Bavarian Research Center for Knowledge-Based Systems (FORWISS).
