HammerDB for OS X 0.1

This is a port of HammerDB, an open source database load testing and benchmarking tool, to the Mac OS X environment. Whereas the current version of HammerDB (2.14) supports benchmarking against Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, etc., this version only supports MySQL.

Requirements

• Tcl and Wish must be installed on your Mac (which should be the case for a default installation of OS X).
• libmysqlclient.18.dylib (this can be installed through installing MySQL using https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/macosx-installation-pkg.html, or using a package manager like Homebrew)

TODO

• Provide better documentation on installing on a system that does not include MySQL

Notes

• This package is providing a compiled version of libmysqltcl from a 64-bit Mac. It will not work on a 32-bit system.

• You may see the following warning when running: Wish(6965,0x10bc80000) malloc: *** auto malloc[6965]: error: GC operation on unregistered thread. Thread registered implicitly. Break on auto_zone_thread_registration_error() to debug.

• You may notice that the menu items are grayed out - we haven't determined the cause but are working to resolve it.

• We've had success with creating a 'tpcc' user specifically for running benchmarks.
  For example:

  mysql> grant all on tpcc.* to 'tpcc'@'localhost' identified by 'tpccpass'; mysql> flush privileges;

  If you are running the benchmark against a machine other than localhost you will want to update the grant accordingly.

• While we've tried to provide a package that works "out of the box" (and indeed would like to eventually provide a DMG installer), our resources are limited and we've only done out-of-the-box testing on OS X systems that already had MySQL installed, and only against a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.7.5 and a Macmini running OS X 10.8.4.

• Issues can be reported to [email protected], but be aware that it may be some time before we can assist.
