Thanks for the URLs. =20 The testing I'm performing is a comparision of JFS/AIO with JFS2 mounted with the CIO option on AIX 5.2 against Oracle 9.2.0.4. =20 My idea was to test various scenarios, OLTP, BATCH, and QUERY. The linxcel tool has exactly=20 what I want with respect to test options, however, the TPS numbers it is generating are out of=20 whack. For example, it gives me a TPS of 1.3 for a batch run consisting of 200 serial sessions,=20 each inserting 50000 rows. Actual runtime was 3 minutes 13 seconds. -----Original Message----- From: Reidy, Ron [mailto:Ron.Reidy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 4:07 PM To: Thomas Jeff; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Open source/freeware stress testing tools?
