3. © 1998 FORWISS FORWISS Environment of the benchmark suite l Measures on two machines: – Compaq PC (4 Intel Processors, 200 MHz, 512 MB RAM) with Oracle 8.0.4.0.0 – SUN Ultra 2 (2 Ultra Sparc Processors, 200 MHz, 1 GB RAM) with Oracle 8.0.4.0.0 l Data uniformly distributed and created by a program l Elimination of cache side effects by NOCACHE

4. © 1998 FORWISS FORWISS Used indexes l UB: UB Tree (index that causes this meeting) l COMPOUND: concatenation of several indexes to get a multi dimensional index in Oracle as index only table implemented l MULT: secondary indexes on all index attributes l SCAN: no index, relation scan, in Oracle as full table scan

5. © 1998 FORWISS FORWISS Kinds of benchmarks l c% measurements: Q = (I 1,...,I n ) I k = 1 %..100 % I 1,..., I k-1, I k+1, I n = c % random starting point l Cube measurements: Q=(I 1,...,I n ) I i = 0%.. 100%, for i = 1,...,n fix starting point 20% 40% 60% 80% Q 20% Q 40% Q 60% Q 80%

12. © 1998 FORWISS FORWISS Comparison of tuple size l Intersection of compound and relation scan: – small tuples: about 10% – large tuples: about 8% l Intersection UB Tree and relation scan: – small tuples: about 65% – large tuples: about 47% l Decrease of performance of the relation scan: – small tuples: factor 4 – large tuples: factor 1.4
