HammerDB
HammerDB is a free database benchmarking application for running workloads across SQL Server, Db2, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL and VillageSQL. It offers graphical, command-line, web and automation interfaces, with Windows and Linux builds, a Docker image and on-premise deployment. Version 6.0 adds CI and pipeline capabilities for MariaDB, MySQL and PostgreSQL, covering schema sizing, workload execution and result capture. It reports I/O measures such as IOPS and MB/s and provides Active Session History viewers for MySQL and MariaDB. Timing profiles use reservoir sampling and extended percentile reporting to compare response-time distributions. Users can upload benchmark artifacts containing workload results, database versions, metrics and system metadata. The web service can run as an SCGI application behind a web server or automation gateway. HammerDB is released under the GNU General Public License Version 3. Automated workflows may require compilers, database dependencies, libraries and operating-system tools.
