Note that the main developer of HammerDB is Intel employee (#IAMINTEL) however HammerDB is a personal open source project and HammerDB has no optimization whatsoever for a database running on any particular architecture. So to test I took a system with Skylake CPUs and all storage on a P4800X SSD. The OS was: Ubuntu 18.04.1

HammerDB already has 2 interfaces with which to interface with the commands to build and test databases using the GUI interface or CLI. From HammerDB version 3.2 there is an additional interface that enables HammerDB to run as Web Service. see the documentation for setting the port). . $./hammerdbws hammerdbws HammerDB Web Service v3.2

The TPC publishes an official Docker image on Docker Hub to enable the rapid deployment and testing of databases with HammerDB. This image includes example scripts to build schemas and test your databases with a single command. Our Linux test system is running a MariaDB 10.10 Our Linux test system is running a MariaDB 10.10

Python is a popular programming language, especially for beginners, and consequently we see it occurring in places where it just shouldn’t be used, such as database benchmarking. We use stored procedures because, as the introductory post shows, using single SQL statements turns our database benchmark into a network test).

One of the most important concepts in analysing database performance is that of understanding scalability. When a system ‘scales’ it is able to deliver higher levels of performance proportional to the system resources available to it. In this example, we will compare MySQL 5.7.33 and MySQL 8.0.25 and MySQL 8.0.25

However if you have downloaded the source code and are looking to add features or make modifications such as adding new databases you may be wondering once you have the source code where to start. However HammerDB will not be able to connect to a database yet and the librarycheck command included with the CLI gives an indication why.

This post gives a HOWTO guide on system configuration for achieving top levels of performance with the HammerDB PostgreSQL TPC-C test. Firstly for system choice a 2 socket system is optimal for PostgreSQL OLTP performance at the time of writing. dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/ssd xfs noatime.

As with the previous guides as an Intel employee (#IAMINTEL) the examples are taken from a MySQL 8 on Linux on Intel system and the approach is the same for whatever system you are testing although some of the settings you see may be different. Similarly for this guide MySQL can be swapped for a mySQL based databases such as MariaDB.
