I modified the free OmniBase to ignore the file locking in Linux for 
the time being. Then I tried running the same benchmark I ran against 
Magma and GOODS. I had a difficult time with OmniBase, I guess grasping 
the concept of everything needing to be in a transaction, so I don't 
know if my code is right. Can anyone tell me if this code would work 
with OmniBase:

	time := Time millisecondsToRun:
		[[db := OmniBase openOn: 'Macintosh HD:Users:dsalama:OB'.
		
		[OmniBase root at: 'FHKC834' put: (OrderedCollection new)]
			evaluateAndCommitIn: db newTransaction.
		
		[head := FHKC834Header new.
		head controlNumber: (self ediData controlNumber).
		head referenceNumber: (self ediData referenceNumber).
		head date: (self ediData date).
		head time: (self ediData time).
		head members: (OrderedCollection new).

		theBase := OmniBase root at: 'FHKC834'.
		theBase add: ediData.
		theBase markDirty]
			evaluateAndCommitIn: db newTransaction.
			
		numCommits := 0.
		Transcript cr.
		
		1 to: (((ediData members) size) / 100 asFloat) ceiling do:
			[:lp |
			txn := db newTransaction.
			theBase := txn root at: 'FHKC834'.
			head := theBase first.
			
			1 to: 100 do:
				[:i |
				(self ediData members at: (lp - 1 * 100 + i)) notNil
					ifTrue: [(head members) add: (self ediData members at: i)]].
			txn commit.
			numCommits := numCommits + 1.
			txn abort.
			Transcript show: '.']] ensure: [db close]].
	 db close.

	Transcript cr; show: (time/1000) asFloat; show: ' seconds to load into 
GOODS in ';
		show: numCommits; show: ' commit(s)'.

It's supposed to commit every 100th element of the members attribute. 
The reason I post this message is because it's been running for over 3 
hours and it hasn't finished. I find it hard to believe that OmniBase 
would take this long.

Thanks,
Daniel
