HammerDB uses stored procedures to achieve maximum throughput when benchmarking your database. HammerDB has always used stored procedures as a design decision because the original benchmark was implemented as close as possible to the example workload in the TPC-C specification that uses stored procedures. On MySQL, we saw a 1.5X

Arguably, the most common beginning errors with database benchmarking is for a user to select a single point of utilisation (usually overconfigured) and then extrapolate conclusions about system performance from this single point. automates this practice by introducing the concept of performance profiles for TPROC-C workloads.
