I'd be interested in hearing other people's experiences as well. I'm currently converting a standard RDMS system to eXist and my DOM is currently about 400 MB and the largest collection I have has about 35K documents in it. So far eXist has performed quite well. I going over SOAP and the access times for individual documents is always below 60ms (usually about 20ms). Mind you, those times are for the entire SOAP request and response, so the actual access time is most likely faster. The only issues I've had thus far are memory in the JVM (I was running into Axis errors so I had to globally increase the JVM heap) and when I request a listing of large collections via the admin interface it can take quite a while. There is one other issue that I can't figure out, the DOM size never goes down. Over the course of development I've deleted all the collections several times and the various database files never shrink. I can see that when I'm rebuilding a collection the DOM file will remain at that size for quite a while and then start to increase (which leads me to believe that the pages in the file are being re-used before the file is grown). All in all, eXist seems like a wonderful product. I'm foaming at the mouth in anticipation of the final release of version 1 (I can't wait for XQuery).

Subject: [Exist-open] Database Size Does anyone have any examples of large eXist databases? If so, I am curious to hear about how large the database was and how it performed. I think eXist is a great product I'm thinking about using it for a couple of small projects that might have large databases. I think that we might get to 50 or 100 mb pretty easily. Has anyone done anything like this? Pat Brannan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
