Benchmark Factory for Databases is a Datenbank performance and scalability testing tool for Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 UDB, Sybase ASE, MySQL, and other databases using ODBC connectivity that:

• Generates load against the Datenbank 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 Datenbank transactions to uncover performance bottlenecks pre-production.
• Evaluates how Datenbank code such SQL, PL/SQL, T-SQL scale under different concurrent user loads.
• Stress tests the Datenbank to determine the breaking point measuring scalability and performance.
• Compares performance test results enabling users to compare performance and scalability between Datenbank platforms, which is necessary during Datenbank migrations (SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g, etc.), Datenbank platform evaluations (Linux vs. Solaris vs. Win), and when deploying and tuning Oracle RAC.
