Versant Object Database exclude the "mapping effect" from the measurements, which by the very nature of how an object database works means the TPC-E was written in a way that forces measurement of an "un-mapping effect", an activity which does not occur in a real world application. Thus with TPC-E, the true cost of computing is removed for relational and even worse added to object databases. Versant provides add-on modules for deployment or access to its Object Database. Usually the "best kind of application" to use a Versant database are those applications requiring an application specific database of an online transaction processing nature.
