This software tests the performance and scalability of databases including Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 UDB, Sybase ASE, and MySQL. It generates loads to stress test the database, measures scalability and performance, and compares test results.
The software has several features that make it stand out. Firstly, it can generate load against the database 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). This means that you can easily simulate real-world situations and determine how your database will perform under different conditions.
Another key feature is the ability to simulate concurrent users running database transactions. This helps to uncover potential performance bottlenecks pre-production, so you can address them early on. Additionally, the software evaluates how database code such SQL, PL / SQL, T-SQL will scale under different concurrent user loads.
Benchmark Factory for Databases also stress tests the database to determine its breaking point, measuring scalability and performance. This enables users to identify the limits of their database and ensure it can handle growing demands.
Finally, the software allows you to compare performance test results between different database platforms. This is incredibly useful during database migrations (e.g., SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2012, Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g), database platform evaluations (Linux vs. Solaris vs. Win), and when deploying and tuning Oracle RAC.
Overall, Benchmark Factory for Databases is an excellent choice for anyone looking to test the performance and scalability of their database. Its comprehensive feature set, coupled with its ability to handle a variety of databases, makes it an incredibly powerful tool.
