Abstract :
NonStop SQL, a relational database management system (DBMS) explicitly designed for online transaction processing, is discussed. An audited benchmark has verified that NonStop SQL can execute more than 200 debit-credit transactions per second on a network of Tandem mainframes. Two design decisions contribute to this result: first, DBMS function was pushed as low as possible into the system operating code; second, the DBMS efficiently utilizes the advantages of distributed processing. The Tandem architecture, DBMS integration with system software, the use of distributed processing, and NonStop SQL extensions are discussed.<>
