I am going to be benchmarking several object-oriented database systems.  The
systems do not all run on the same hardware.

Three of the benchmark programs that I will be running have the following
functionality:

        1. initialize a database
        2. query for all the information in the database
        3. query for a specific item in the database

In order to fairly compare the two systems I need to factor out the
differences in the machine and disk speeds.  Does anyone know of benchmark
programs, that I can get the source for, that would model any of the above
functionality?  If there are no benchmarks of this type, what standard
benchmarks should I run to get the general relative performance of the two
machines?  Where can I get sources for these benchmarks?

Please reply by e-mail, since I do not read this notes group very often.

	Thanks
