Abstract

Several concepts and problems in the integration of a database management system (DBMS) into a general purpose operating system are investigated. In particular, isolation and access control, the cooperation between application and DBMS processes as well as the synchronization of multiple DBMS processes are discussed. Basic solutions for the partitioning of DBMS functions to operating system processes are examined and two multiple server DBMS solutions are evaluated by a detailed simulation model. Quantitative results concerning the performance characteristics of those solutions, are presented, in particular for the overall throughput, process switching overhead and the influence of certain hiqh traffic locks within the DBMS.
