Abstract

A benchmark for active database management systems is described. We are particularly interested in performance tests that help to identify performant and inefficient components. Active functionality that is relevant with respect to performance is identified, and a series of tests is designed that measure the efficiency of the performance-critical components. Results obtained from running the benchmark for a concrete system are presented.
