Abstract

In the environment where information exchanges running rapidly, performance becomes a matter that is
absolutely necessary to ensure the accuracy and speed of information delivery. Response time and throughput
are two of the performance parameters that could be considered in choosing data storage media. A DBMS is a
set of software programs that controls the organization, storage, management, and retrieval of data in a
database. Along with the development of information technology, the needs of DBMS as storage media would be
crucial. In addition to DBMS, there is another data storage format -had a similar structure to that relational-
named XML. Nowadays Native XML Databases had been introduced as a new technology of XML. In Native
XML Databases, XML files could be related one to another just like in DBMS. The objective of the research was
to analyze what is best between those two data storage format. The analysis result concluded that DBMS give
lower response time and greater throughput.
