How to Tune and Benchmark Oracle Database with AWR Reports and HammerDB
How to Tune and Benchmark Oracle with AWR Reports and HammerDB
Simulate TPC-C Workloads with HammerDB
How should one use AWR reports to tune a database? How can you stress test your database configuration? Two frequently asked questions faced by many DBAs. This webinar will demonstrate one technique: using the HammerDB benchmarking and load testing tool to generate a TPC-C type workloads, and information from AWR reports to improve transaction throughput and query performance.
The HammerDB TPROC-C tool simulates typical OLTP type activity: a combination of small queries and transactions against a standard schema. Running it repeatedly as one tunes the database and instance lets you determine whether the tuning is improving performance. Running it against different databases helps with benchmarking: how your environment compares to others. By increasing the workload, it is also possible to see how the database will perform under stress.
