RE: SwingBench as a Benchmarking or StressTesting tool

I was able to use SwingBench {the Order Entry PLSQL "benchmark"} as a Stress Testing tool
to compare a Sun Solaris server with a Fujitsu Solaris server {the database being on a NetApp
filer, so I just alternate between the two servers, using the same database files and parameters}.

It is quite "tweakable" and I guess I will be using it more frequently.

{My report to Management was combination of the TPM and ResponseTime figures from SwingBench
and Wait-Times from StatsPack}.
