A frequently asked question with HammerDB is when a user is using the TPROC-C workload to test database failure and failover scenarios, by deliberately killing connections or shutting down the database during a workload and then restarting it. Is a TPROC-C workload valid if you have restarted the database?

Firstly, it is worth noting that both HammerDB TPROC-C and sysbench-tpcc run workloads based on the TPC-C specification, however as described here HammerDB is called TPROC-C to correctly comply with the TPC fair use rules. Prepare or build the schema Firstly, before running a workload, you need to build or prepare the schema.

Many of the HammerDB TPROC-C workloads have included features to prevent the database doing maintenance tasks for the previous run whilst another run is taking place. This is particularly important when running automated workloads back-back to generate a performance profile for a progressively increasing number of virtual users.

there’s a Python library for virtually anything a developer or data scientist might need to do. But Go is now the sixth most-used programming language, trailing only Python, Java,NET, and C++. Along with R , Python is one of the most-used languages for data analysis. Interestingly, R itself continues to decline.

While THP can be beneficial for many applications, enabling it on a database server could have unintended consequences. In this post, we will explore THP, its impact on database servers, and how to disable it for optimal performance and stability. As such, it is generally recommended to disable THP for most database workloads.

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. What is a stored procedure?

One of the most important concepts in analysing database performance is that of understanding scalability.
