JPA Performance Benchmark (JPAB)

Comparison of DataNucleus with SQLite embedded vs OpenJPA with HSQLDB server

Each of the following tables focuses on a specific database operation, where the last table presents average results comparison.

Speed comparison of JPA database persistence operations (normalized score, higher is better)

Transaction Size =>	Few Entities		Many Entities		Average Score

Basic Person Test		failed		failed		failed
Element Collection Test		failed		failed		failed
Inheritance Test		failed		failed		failed
Indexing Test		failed		failed		failed
Graph (Binary Tree) Test		failed		failed		failed
Multithreading Test		failed		failed		failed
All Tests		failed		failed		failed

Speed comparison of JPA database retrieval operations (normalized score, higher is better)

Retrieval Size =>	Few Entities		Many Entities		Average Score
