Any changes to data made in a single application are made available to all applications at the time of database commit - thus keeping the applications' data use better synchronized. The benefit of the schema that sharing data among applications does not require an extra layer of integration services on the applications. An integration database needs a schema that takes all its client applications into account. The paper concludes with proposal for further developments towards using of web services.Īn integration database is a database which acts as the data store for multiple applications and thus integrates data across these applications (in contrast to an Application Database). The obtained results show that the dynamic arrays and the local data sets approaches iterated much faster across all data records than the remote database approach. It outperforms significantly the approaches based on a local or remote database. Regarding the data loading time, the fastest approach was the one that uses dynamic arrays. The obtained results show that for storing a large number of records (in the order of tens of millions of rows), either dynamic arrays (stored on external media in binary file format), or an approach based on a local or remote database management system can be used. Three different indicators were analyzed, respectively: memory required to store the data, time to load the data from an external file into computer memory and iteration time across all records through one cycle.

The methodology and conditions for conducting the experiments are described. For the purposes of the study, a relational database for storing and analyzing a specific data from behavioral experiments was designed. Different types of databases, ways of using them and the areas of their application are analyzed. Several studies related to the problem and some methods for solving it have been discussed. In this paper, the results of a comparative analysis between different approaches to experimental data storage and processing are presented.
