Physical Database Connection assignment strategies
are introduced and their characteristics are
compared. For tuple retrieval operations, three
different designs of the result memory pool are
described and their performances are analysed.
Furthermore the temporary resources charged during
the database operations can be released both
manually and automatically to prevent some serious
problems. In the future, we will fully test these
designs on the existing IMAGO system.
