Abstract
The authors describe and motivate the design of a scalable and portable benchmark for database systems, the AS/sup 3/AP benchmark (Ansi SQL Standard Scalable and Portable). The benchmark is designed to provide meaningful measures of database processing power, to be portable between different architectures, and to be scalable to facilitate comparisons between systems with different capabilities. The authors introduce a performance metric, namely, the equivalent database ratio, to be used in comparing systems.<>
