HammerDB uses stored procedures to achieve maximum throughput when benchmarking your database. HammerDB has always used stored procedures as a design decision because the original benchmark was implemented as close as possible to the example workload in the TPC-C specification that uses stored procedures.

Zero day refers to security vulnerabilities that are discovered in software when teams had “zero days” to work on an update or a patch to remediate the issue and, hence, are already at risk. If a malicious attacker can identify a key software vulnerability, they can exploit the vulnerability, allowing them to gain access to your systems.
