Data generators

[janjacina]

Hi,

I'm looking for some applications for generating data into the database (I'dont carre - Oracle,Informix...) "free try" or some documentation to this problem, because this is my university final thesis - Database benchmark tool and I would like to find some others applications or documentations.

Hmmm, university final thesis, trying to benchmark database servers, looking for data generators. If you don't know how data gets into a database (let's use Oracle as an example), or can't figure out how to use a simple loop that inserts data, what is it you think you are going to benchmark? What do you mean by data? One column (tuple) in a table, simple insert, no RI checks going on? Constraint checking? Triggers? Don't forget mutating table error with triggers - those are fun. Hundreds of columns? I don't know, maybe it's just me, but your question seems like there is some laziness behind it.

A bad relational designs run poorly on every database server. (but sqlserver the worst)

load runner but it's probably too high tech for you :D
