A Study of Three Alternative Workstation-Server Architectures for Object Oriented Database Systems

Summary: Empirically compares object-, page-, and NFS-based file-server architectures for workstation–server OODBs. Clustering and buffer-pool size strongly determine object/page performance; file servers win on reads, while page servers win on writes. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
