Re: automatic and randomally population

You can use loops (

Are you trying to do some performance analysis for the database server?

Yes I will, but first I want see how the Open Office behave with larger DB.
I need to build a DB for an old man, and I want give to him the easier
client toolkit application. Do you have any recommendation ??

Thank you again,
Gustavo

Re: automatic and randomally population

For doing the performance analysis you can use BenchmarkSQL (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/benchmarksql) and while you do the
benchmarking make sure you have your PostgreSQL database server properly
tuned following the instructions given at
http://www.powerpostgresql.com/PerfList/

Hope this helps...

There are a bunch of sample databases of various sizes below. Sounds
like it's useful for you.

Are you sure that is the right place, I found there just port languages
to PostgreSQL and one little MySQL example ?
Thank you very much any way,

The "dellstore" archive seems to contain a database certainly - I've
just downloaded it a few minutes ago.
