Evaluation of object-relational database systems for fulltext retrieval
نویسنده
چکیده
Object-relational database systems add object-oriented features to relational DBMS and allow the DBMS’s functionality to be extended to new application domains. For the important domain of fulltext retrieval and document management, we analyze whether current object-relational DBMS are already able to compete with specialized information retrieval (IR) systems. After discussing the main requirements, we present a comparison of the ORDBMS Informix and several text data blades with the information retrieval system Fulcrum and a relational DBMS extended by IR functionality (Oracle ConText). A qualitative and quantitative evaluation is presented considering the degree of IR functionality, performance, and retrieval quality.

Object-Relational Database Representations for Text Indexing
One of the distinctive features of Information Retrieval systems comparing to Database Management systems, is that they offer better compression for posting lists, resulting in better I/O performance and thus faster query evaluation. In this paper, we introduce database representations of the index that reduce the size (and thus the disk I/Os) of the posting lists. This is not achieved by redes...
متن کاملObject Prefetch Filter - A Pattern for Improving the Performance of Object Retrieval Using Object-Relational Mapping Tools
Object-relational mapping tools provide a bridge between objectoriented programming languages and relational database systems. Although the concepts of object-relational mapping are well understood, the performance of object retrieval still is a crucial point in using the tools. Prefetching objects is a means to improve the performance, in particular to avoid the socalled n+1 selects problem. T...
متن کاملXML and Object-Relational Database Systems - Enhancing Structural Mappings Based on Statistics
Using an object-relational data model and an XML datatype, we show how a relevant subset of XML documents and their implied structure can be mapped onto database structures. Besides straight-forward mappings, there are some XML structures that cannot be easily mapped onto database structures. These structures would sometimes result in large database schemas and sparsely populated databases. As ...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of an IR-Benchmark for SPARQL Fulltext Queries
In this thesis, we design a new IR-benchmark that aims to bridge the prevailing gap between traditional keyword-based retrieval techniques and semantic web-based retrieval techniques. We present a unique, entity-centric data collection, coined Wikipedia-LOD, that aims to combine the benefits of both text-oriented and structured retrieval settings. This collection combines RDF data from DBpedia ...
متن کاملSupporting Efficient Streaming and Insertion of XML Data in RDBMS
Relational database systems are increasingly used to manage XML documents, especially for data-centric XML. In this paper we present a new approach to efficiently manage document-centric XML data based on a generic relational mapping. Such a generic XML storage is especially useful in data integration systems to manage highly diverse XML documents. We focus on efficient insert operations, suppo...
