pgbench 1.2 README 2000/1/15 Tatsuo Ishii (t-ishii@sra.co.jp)
|
||||
|
||||
o What is pgbench?
|
||||
|
||||
pgbench is a simple program to run a benchmark test sort of
|
||||
"TPC-B". pgbench is a client application of PostgreSQL and runs
|
||||
with PostgreSQL only. It performs lots of small and simple
|
||||
transactions including select/update/insert operations then
|
||||
calculates number of transactions successfully completed within a
|
||||
second (transactions per second, tps). Targeting data includes a
|
||||
table with at least 100k tuples.
|
||||
|
||||
Example outputs from pgbench look like:
|
||||
|
||||
number of clients: 4
|
||||
number of transactions per client: 100
|
||||
number of processed transactions: 400/400
|
||||
tps = 19.875015(including connections establishing)
|
||||
tps = 20.098827(excluding connections establishing)
|
||||
|
||||
Similar program called "JDBCBench" already exists, but it requires
|
||||
Java that may not be available on every platform. Moreover some
|
||||
people concerned about the overhead of Java that might lead
|
||||
inaccurate results. So I decided to write in pure C, and named
|
||||
it "pgbench."
|
||||
|
||||
o features of pgbench
|
||||
|
||||
- pgbench is written in C using libpq only. So it is very portable
|
||||
and easy to install.
|
||||
|
||||
- pgbench can simulate concurrent connections using asynchronous
|
||||
capability of libpq. No threading is required.
|
||||
|
||||
o How to install pgbench
|
||||
|
||||
(1) Edit the first line in Makefile
|
||||
|
||||
POSTGRESHOME = /usr/local/pgsql
|
||||
|
||||
so that it points to the directory where PostgreSQL installed.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) Run configure
|
||||
|
||||
(3) Run make. You will see an executable file "pgbench" there.
|
||||
|
||||
o How to use pgbench?
|
||||
|
||||
(1) Initialize database by:
|
||||
|
||||
pgbench -i <dbname>
|
||||
|
||||
where <dbname> is the name of database. pgbench uses four tables
|
||||
accounts, branches, history and tellers. These tables will be
|
||||
destroyed. Be very carefully if you have tables having same
|
||||
names. Default test data contains:
|
||||
|
||||
table # of tuples
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
branches 1
|
||||
tellers 10
|
||||
accounts 100000
|
||||
history 0
|
||||
|
||||
You can increase the number of tuples by using -s option. See
|
||||
below.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) Run the benchmark test
|
||||
|
||||
pgbench <dbname>
|
||||
|
||||
The default configuration is:
|
||||
|
||||
number of clients: 1
|
||||
number of transactions per client: 10
|
||||
|
||||
o options
|
||||
|
||||
pgbench has number of options.
|
||||
|
||||
-h hostname
|
||||
hostname where the backend is running. If this option
|
||||
is omitted, pgbench will connect to the localhost via
|
||||
Unix domain socket.
|
||||
|
||||
-p port
|
||||
the port number that the backend is accepting. default is
|
||||
5432.
|
||||
|
||||
-c number_of_clients
|
||||
Number of clients simulated. default is 1.
|
||||
|
||||
-t number_of_transactions
|
||||
Number of transactions each client runs. default is 10.
|
||||
|
||||
-s scaling_factor
|
||||
this should be used with -i (initialize) option.
|
||||
number of tuples generated will be multiple of the
|
||||
scaling factor. For example, -s 100 will imply 10M
|
||||
(10,000,000) tuples in the accounts table.
|
||||
default is 1.
|
||||
|
||||
-n
|
||||
No vacuuming and cleaning the history table prior the
|
||||
test is performed.
|
||||
|
||||
-v
|
||||
Do vacuuming before testing. This will take some time.
|
||||
Without both -n and -v pgbench will vacuum tellers and
|
||||
branches tables only.
|
||||
|
||||
-S
|
||||
Perform select only transactions instead of TPC-B.
|
||||
|
||||
-d
|
||||
debug option.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
o What is the "transaction" actually performed in pgbench?
|
||||
|
||||
(1) begin;
|
||||
|
||||
(2) update accounts set abalance = abalance + :delta where aid = :aid;
|
||||
|
||||
(3) select abalance from accounts where aid = :aid;
|
||||
|
||||
(4) update tellers set tbalance = tbalance + :delta where tid = :tid;
|
||||
|
||||
(5) update branches set bbalance = bbalance + :delta where bid = :bid;
|
||||
|
||||
(6) insert into history(tid,bid,aid,delta) values(:tid,:bid,:aid,:delta);
|
||||
|
||||
(7) end;
|
||||
|
||||
o License?
|
||||
|
||||
Basically it is same as BSD license. See pgbench.c for more details.
