Abstract

Benchmarks are the vital tools in the performance measurement, evaluation, and comparison of relational database management systems (RDBMS). Standard benchmarks such as the TP1, TPC-A, TPC-B, TPC-C, TPC-D, TPC-H, TPC-R, TPC-W, Wisconsin, and AS3 Ap benchmarks have been used to assess the performance of relational database management systems. These benchmarks are synthetic and domain-specific. Test results from these benchmarks are estimates of possible system performance for certain pre-determined application types. Database system performance on actual database domain may vary significantly from those in the standard benchmarks. In this paper, we describe a new benchmark method that is computer-assisted and developed from the perspective of the user's requirements.
