Re: Immediate help needed on stress testing database

I was faced with a challenge such as this a while back. The easiest method I found for getting 1500 simultaneous "users" running was to use java to connect with JDBC, with threads. Each thread was a user, typing away. Use 4 or five types of threads, and you can simulate different transactions.

I tried tcl/perl/ksh type programming, but the overhead was too-high, or too cumbersome with that many simulated users. One key to consider is, are these users supposed to be connected simultaneously? Or does an app server actually do the databse communication for the users?
