An essential part of database performance testing is viewing the statistics generated by the database during the test and in 2009 HammerDB introduced automatic AWR snapshot generation for Oracle for the TPC-C test. With this feature Oracle generates a wealth of performance data that can be reviewed once the test is complete.
