Application and method for benchmarking a database server

摘要

A benchmarking application for testing the performance of a database server (14) includes a plurality of execution parameters (82) and a program (78) operable to read the execution parameters (82). Processes (56, 58, 60) are generated by the program (78) in accordance with the execution parameters (82). Each process (56, 58, 60) represents a user (16, 18, 20) of the database server (14) and generates benchmark transactions (108) for submission to the database server (14).
