Re: Any tool/script available which can be used to measure scalability of an application's database.

Dear Sergev,

We have around 15 to 18 separate products.What we are told to do is to
check the scalability of the underlying DB of each product (application).
That's the requirement.Nothing more was explained to us.That's why I said
earlier that I am confused on how to approach this.

Regards,
Sreejith.
