OSDL Database Test Suite 3 is available on PostgreSQL

OSDL has ported OSDL Database Test Suite 3(OSDL-DBT3) to PostgreSQL.
It drives the database with an ad-hoc decision support workload. It
helps database developers and users to identify database performance
issues.

OSDL-DBT3 is derived from TPC-H benchmark. TPC-H is an ad-hoc decision
support benchmark. It has 22 complicated queries doing a lot of
table/index scanning, sorting and grouping by. Details about TPC-H can
be found at: http://www.tpc.org/tpch/

Though OSDL-DBT3 is based on TPC-H, it deviates from TPC-H
significantly. It skipped many of the requirements for audit purpose,
as well as added flexibility. OSDL-DBT3 performance test results are
not comparable to TPC-H results.

OSDL-DBT3 tarball can be downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/osdldbt/
The source can be downloaded from source forge cvs tree and osdl bk tree
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/osdldbt/dbt3/
bk://developer.osdl.org/dbt3

OSDL-DBT3 is also implemented on OSDL Scalable Test Platform(STP). The
platform provides a framework where users run a set of performance and
scalability tests on various hardware platforms. Currently, OSDL-DBT3
is running against PostgreSQL 7.3.3 only. We plan to improve it so that
it can run against PostgreSQL patches. To find more information about
STP, visit: http://www.osdl.org/stp/.
