Load testing for Users

I have an Oracle 7.3.2 database running on HP-UX machine. The database has approximately 40 base tables. Some of the tables have approximately 10 million rows. I wanted to test the effect on performance when 1000 users simultaneously run queries against a particular table having 2 million records). The query can be as simple as SELECTING x number of records pertaing to the particular user i.e. all the queries will be similar excepting say the USERID field. Is it possible to simulate such a senario. I know I can use Mercury Interactive's LoadRunner or similar tool but I donot have access to any such tool. Can anybody help.
