[comp.os.vms] VMS database performance query

tp@mccall.uucp (02/07/90)

Can anyone give me an idea on the relative performance of VAX Rdb vs. VAX
DBMS vs. straight RMS I/O? We are thinking of using a database product and
don't want to sacrifice too much performance.

We would be doing interactive queries to navigate through some data that is
basically tree structured. For instance, the user would click on an item,
and the program would access the database for a list of options under this
item. Think of them as hierarchical menus, where each menu is pulled from
the database when that option is selected. I need performance appropriate
for this kind of environment running on VAXstation 2000's with 10MB of
memory and a graphics accelerator board, running VMS and DECwindows.
