Hi,
  I am a masters student at the University of Texas at Austin.  I have
decided to write a thesis entitled 'An Evaluation of Performance and
Functionality in Object-Oriented Database Systems".  I currently have
several references on benchmarking database systems, including Duhl's
OOPSLA '88 paper, Bitton's VLDB '83 paper and several other relational
benchmarks (i.e.  SUN, TP1, etc.).  I am also trying to get a copy of
the 'Hypermodel Benchmark' by Berre from Tektronix.  If anyone has any
other useful references, please send me mail.
  I am currently using ORION (MCC), Statice (Symbolices), and Postgres
(Berkley) in my evaluation.  I would also like to get a hold of an up
to date version of Exodus, but don't have any pointers.  I would also
like to evaluate some of the up and coming commercial OODBMSs.  If any
of these vendors (i.e., Object Sciences, Object Design, ServioLogic,
etc.) would be interested in supplying me with an evaluation copy of
their system, please send me mail.
  Thanks,
    Nat Ballou

P.S. I am also a DEC employee, as well as a researcher on ORION at MCC.
