If you provide some specifics about the kinds of "elements" you want to
store and retrieve and what you consider a "transaction" to be, I'm sure

there will be some answers for you. Some general specifications
regarding
system architecture would enlighten. If you know the environment in
which
the software will be developed, that might throw up some leads for you,
too.

./heLen





We're developing a network management product that will eventually
manage in excess of 1000 network elements (routers, switches, etc.).
We'll use the database to store configuration criteria, polling
thresholds, alarms, events, etc. for each of the network elements.



We consider a transaction to be a specific action on the database
(retrieve, write, update and delete) that can be rolled back. We expect
that we will need to be able to accommodate in excess of 1000
transactions/second.



General database related specs: JDBC distributable, retrieval database
architecture.



The software is being developed in a Linux development environment.





Any feedback/advice will be appreciated.



Thanks!

Nina
