“…This configuration is reasonable because the interface is particularly simple: the front-end sends over the parsed query and the back-end machine responds with status information and possibly a data stream. A similar organization has been adopted by Britton-Lee [8] in the IDM.…”

The growing acceptance of database systems makes their performance increasingly more important. One way to gain performance is to off-load some of the functions of the database system to abackend computer. The problem is what functions should be off-loaded to maximize the benefits of distributed processing.Our approach to this problem consisted of constructing several variants of an existing relational database system. INGRES, that partition the database system software into two parts, and assigning these two parts to two computers connected by a local area network. For the purposes of this experiment, six different variants of the database software were constructed to test the sir most intereatingfunetional subdivisions. Each variant was thenbenchmerkedusing twodifferent databases and query streams. The communication medium and the communication software were also benchmarked to measure their contribution to the performance of each configuration.Combining the database and network measurement results, various conclusions were reached about the viability of the contigurations, the desirable properties of the communications mechanisms to he used, the operating system interface and overhead, and the performance of the database aye&em. The variants to be preferred depend on the hardware technology, operating system features, database system internal structure, and network software overhead.

“…Commercial database machines have been supplied since the beginning of 1980s [SHEM84][ELEC84] [EPST80] [HIKI85] and it can be said that they are at the stage of practical usage. However, field experiences of database machines show various performance problems.…”
