This study analyzes the performance of the storage structures ond algorithms employed in three experimental database storage systems -EXODUS, Starburst, and EOS -for managing large unstructured general-purpose objects. All three mechanisms are segment-based in that the krrge object is stored in a sequence of segments, each consisting of physically contiguous disk blocks. To analyze the algorithms we measured object creation time, sequential scan time, storage utilization in the pre.renee of
