Description
Summary:Pitch Technologies specializes their work on the HLA standard, a standard that specifies data exchange between simulators. The company provides a solution for recording HLA data into a database as raw byte data entries. In this thesis, different design solutions to store and organize recorded HLA data in a manner that reflects the content of the data are proposed and implemented, with the aim of making the data possible to query and analyze after recording. The design solutions impact on storage, read- and write performance as well as usability are evaluated through a suite of tests run on a PostgreSQL database and a TimescaleDB database. It is concluded that none of the design alternatives is the best solution for all aspects, but the most promising combination is proposed.
