There is no such variable at present.

You could probably persuade the BeanShell Assertion to extract the
information and put it in a variable.

However for performance testing storing the data would add quite an overhead.
Effectively you would also be testing the JDBC connection as well.

Why not just write a script to load the data into the database at the
end of a test? Most databases can easily be populated from CSV files,
and it would be much more efficient to load all the data at once.

If you really want to use a database to store the data, it would be
best implemented as a Listener. There has been some discussion on
implementing this - see the JMeter Developer list.

Good point.

Thats probably the best thing to do. So I'll do it like that.

Thanks,
