This paper presents a new benchmark for object-relational database systems, which are regarded as the next-generation database system. This benchmark has been developed to evaluate system performance peculiar to object-relational database systems. The design philosophy, test databases, an test queries of the benchmark are presented. This benchmark features scaleability, use of a synthesized database only, and a query-oriented evaluation. We have implemented his benchmark with two commerical object-relational database systems and the experimental results are also reported.
