Home Forums SQL Server 2008 T-SQL (SS2K8) Best way to run high number of transactions concurrently RE: Best way to run high number of transactions concurrently

  • You can use the Profiler GUI to playback a trace against a server. But, it's single threaded, so you're not going to be able to scale it up much. SQL Server 2012 includes a new tool, Distributed Replay. You can run that against a 2008 database. It allows you add lots and lots more machines to run a trace playback. You can really stress the system to the max that way.
