- 3. It appears that not all of the products were evaluated with equal rigor.
- At least one of the evaluations appears to be based upon an evaluation copy
- of the product, which was available to the authorUs for a period of one
- month in early 1991. Evaluation of other products were based upon extensive
- use. What is often apparent after extensive use is often not apparent
- during a one month evaluation - for example usability, scalability and
- robustness.

- I'd like to go even farther than Jacob and Marc. From reading the
- article, I did not get the impression that the authors did a one month
- evaluation on each of the OODBMS's they describe. It strongly
- appeared to me that for most of the products, they simply read the
- manual. People reading the article should keep in mind the inherent
- limitations of an evaluation that's not based on actual use.
