Until now we have used the mysqlslap benchmarking tool. But, if you need to test your database server more thoroughly, other more advanced benchmarking tools do exist. We will have a quick look at two of these tools: DBT2 and SysBench.
This benchmarking tool is used in order to run automated benchmarking tests against a MySQL server. It allows you to mimic large amounts of data warehouses.
To download, compile and install DBT2, please enter the following commands on the container's CLI:
# cd /srv/www
# wget -O dbt2-0.37.tar.gz https://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/osdldbt/dbt2/0.37/dbt2-0.37.tar.gz
# tar -xvf dbt2-0.37.tar.gz
# cd dbt2-0.37.tar.gz
# ./configure --with-mysql
# make
# make install
# cpan install Statistics::Descriptive
# mkdir -p /srv/mysql/dbt2-tmp-data/dbt2-w3
# ./src/datagen -w 3 -d /srv/mysql/dbt2-tmp-data/dbt2-w3 --mysqlOnce the data warehouses have been created, you should see the following messages:
