Jackpine: A Spatial Database Benchmark
Description
With the growing popularity of Web Mapping and Location based services, spatial support in major relational databases has become increasingly important. The spatial functionalities across commercial and open-source databases differ widely and there is no standard spatial database benchmark to compare such diverse offerings.
Jackpine is a spatial database benchmark that fills this role. It was developed as part of our ongoing research into system software support for spatial database workloads. The benchmark includes a comprehensive set of queries that exercise spatial features, as well as macrobenchmark workloads that model common real-life usage scenarios. It is also extensible so that new test scenarios can be added.
Trivia: the Jack pine is a species of pine tree. It is also the name of a famous painting by Canadian painter Tom Thomson.
