Abstract
The selected database engine significantly impacts the performance of electronic services. This impact also affects governmental e-services. Based on several inquiries to all Portugal city halls, this study ranks the different available databases (commercial and non-commercial) in the year 2019.
Highlights
All public services work on top of electronic platforms
Boncz (Abadi et al, 2013) mention, in their study, that the performance of the database systems is directly related with the efficiency of the system to store data, and its ability to move them to the CPU
This paper presents a study of the most used databases in the Portuguese public town halls, taking into account the main reasons to select the adopted databases
Summary
All public services work on top of electronic platforms. Most of these platforms have a front-end (where available services are available to the general target audience), back-office (where services are configured and managed), and one or more databases.Information stored inside the databases is intensively used to provide all kinds of services to general citizens (Viscusi et al, 2010). All public services work on top of electronic platforms. Most of these platforms have a front-end (where available services are available to the general target audience), back-office (where services are configured and managed), and one or more databases. Information stored inside the databases is intensively used to provide all kinds of services to general citizens (Viscusi et al, 2010). Cloud computing, the databases must cope with the large volumes of data efficiently, requiring good performance for both read and write operations (Han et al, 2011). Boncz (Abadi et al, 2013) mention, in their study, that the performance of the database systems is directly related with the efficiency of the system to store data, and its ability to move them to the CPU registers for processing. Sharing the beforementioned point of view, Abramova, Bernardino (Abramova et al, 2014)
