Benchmark Factory for Databases is a 数据库 scalability and performance testing tool for Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 UDB, Sybase ASE, MySQL, and other databases using ODBC connectivity that:
• Generates load against the 数据库 by replaying production workload, running user-defined SQL scripts or using out-of-the-box industry standard benchmarks (AS3AP, TPC-C TPC-B, TPC-D, Scalable Hardware).
• Simulates concurrent users running 数据库 transactions to uncover performance bottlenecks pre-production.
• Evaluates how 数据库 code such SQL, PL/SQL, T-SQL scale under different concurrent user loads.
• Stress tests the 数据库 to determine the breaking point measuring performance and scalability.
• Compares performance test results enabling users to compare scalability and performance between 数据库 platforms, which is necessary during 数据库 migrations (SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g, etc.), 数据库 platform evaluations (Linux vs.
Solaris vs.
Win), and when tuning and deploying Oracle RAC.
