+ ----------------------------------------------- + + Python TPC-C + + ----------------------------------------------- + The basic idea is that you will need to create a new driver file that implements the functions defined in "abstractdriver.py". One function will load in the tuples into your database for a given table. Then there are five separate functions that execute the given transaction based on a set of input parameters. All the work for generating the tuples and the input parameters for the transactions has been done for you. Here's what you need to do to get started: (1) Download the source code from Github: https://github.com/apavlo/py-tpcc/tree/master/pytpcc (2) Create a new file in the 'drivers' directory for your system that follows the proper naming convention. For example, if your system is 'MongoDB', then your new file will be called 'mongodbdriver.py' and that file will contain a new class called 'MongodbDriver' (note the capitalization). (3) Inside your class you will need to implement the required functions of defined in AbstractDriver. There is documentation on what these need to do also available on Github: https://github.com/apavlo/py-tpcc/wiki (3) Try running your system. I would start by defining the configuration file that gets returned with by the 'makeDefaultConfig' function in your driver and then implement the data loading part first, since that will guide how you actually execute the transactions. Using 'MongoDB' as an example again, you can print out the driver's configuration dict to a file: $ python ./tpcc.py --print-config mongodb > mongodb.config Make any changes you need to 'mongodb.config' (e.g., passwords, hostnames). Then test the loader: $ python ./tpcc.py --no-execute --config=mongodb.config mongodb You can use the CSV driver if you want to see what the data or transaction input parameters will look like. The following command will dump out just the input to the driver's functions to files in /tmp/tpcc-* $ python ./tpcc.py csv You can also look at my SqliteDriver implementation to get an idea of what your transaction implementation functions need to do: https://github.com/apavlo/py-tpcc/blob/master/pytpcc/drivers/sqlitedriver.py
