Alternating implies repetition (e.g. 1,2,3,1,2,3) but then you mention unique - which do you mean? Or do you mean variable request? > With 5 JDBC requests configured to have alternating values i could > constantly have changing searches and never have an instance or a cached > search happening and thus contaminating my results. problem is i do not know > how to create the said JDBC request. > > Is it also possible to have an element alternate between different databases > without having to creat an entirely new element/thread group? You need 1 pool for each unique set of connection attributes (database name, driver, username etc) The JDBC request uses the pool name to get the database connection; the pool name can be a variable, and the SQL statement can use variables as well. e.g. JDBC sampler: pool: ${pool} statement: select ${col1} from ${table} where ${col2} = '${value}' You may also be able to use a prepared statement with the appropriate values. > I am not a coder and would need a pretty good run down of how to perform > that kind of action. Still very new to the coding arena. JMeter does not require "coding" but like any test application you need to read the manual (probably a few times). Equally importantly, you need a good understanding of the system you are testing and particularly what you are trying to achieve by running the tests. > regards, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/JDBC-requests-with-alternating-variables-tf4614204.html#a13177071 > Sent from the JMeter - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
