Why you should benchmark your database using stored procedures

HammerDB

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. On MySQL, we saw a 1.5X

Why Tcl is 700% faster than Python for database benchmarking

HammerDB

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).
