I find it difficult to use a general tool to generate a lot of data specifi to my application. There are many tools out there to execute queries against a MySQL server it seems and log/report the performance. However, finding a tool that is able to generate a lot of data that fits into your schema seems to be the problem.
I would use a tool that does this. On Thu, Jun 4, 2009 at 6:05 AM, petya <pe...@petya.org.hu> wrote: > Anyone else?
