Summary:With the increasing use of object-oriented database software,
system performance has become an important issue in the system
procurements and evaluation process. It is vital to understand and
predict the functionality and performance characteristics of the systems
to be procured in the real world settings so as to justify the use of
the object-oriented systems over the traditional systems. Benchmarks are
considered the most common approach to test and measure the quantitative
performance of database systems. We have seen a set of de facto standard
benchmarks such as the OO1, HyperModel, ACOB, and OO7 benchmarks
receiving more and more attention and acceptance. It is hence the intent
of this paper to provide an elaborate version of analysis of these
benchmarks and to give a systematic comparison of these standards with a
multi-set of comparison criteria. Through the comparison and contrast,
we point out the essence of features of a desirable database benchmark
