Abstract

Web databases are becoming an efficient tool used to manage the web sites. In this paper we analyse the performance of a typical Web database system with different sizes of web pages and different sizes of database tables. Since a web server and a database server work simultaneously, the response time in dealing with a request to the database can not be seen simply as the web server service time plus database service time. The performance metrics and optimisation suggestions are made on the basis of the analysis of the relationship between them. Initial experiments are designed to investigate how a Web database system works and what affects its performance, in particular, the response time. We explored the different ways of sending query result files. An analysis of the initial test results and suggestions on improving the Web database system performance are presented.
