Slide 16 of 24
Notes:
Evaluated usability and performance of Versant ODBMS, Objy’s main competitor.
Converted the test application without problem, then measured performance in same way as we had tested Objy
Conversion took ~1/2 a day: minor changes to schema and source code
Systems operation of Versant more cumbersome and time consuming (e.g. applying schema to each and every database)
API easier to use and offered some convenient built-in features (e.g. LinkVstr - Objy equivalent is user-constructed ooVArray).
“Predicate” queries seemed better implemented: certainly faster.
Versant Java binding worked well: at the time we tested, Objy did not offer Java.
