Most of the commercial products of load simulators are expensive. You should be able to write ksh scripts to do simple things, like increment a counter, make a random sized (within limits) text for several fields, and insert header/detail (like order entry) records with this stuff in them. Post what you write, and we might add stuff to it. Might be real interesting to see what comes out using OEM tablespace map.

I'm sure Oracle charges a pretty penny for that. Go for Linux.
