Database Speed Testing

Date: 04/03/2010 – recorded on paper records

Today I have been testing the server side API’s database connections. This has included testing the speed and ensuring all types of data can be accessed, the geo referencing is correct and the relevant metadata is recorded on a data request.

Metadata includes datatypes, database column types, column sizes, column precision, key columns and constraints.

Speed testing proved successful, being tried out on our largest datasets such as UK wide address gazeteers and Ordnance Surveys vector based Mastermap.
