Since this kit is derived from a TPC benchmark specification, TPC Policy on fair-use must be observed: http://www.tpc.org/information/about/documentation/TPC_Policies_v5.13.htm#_Toc124863463 ----- Usage varies depending on the database management system used. See addition README-* for specific instructions. ----- Comments regarding database scale: The minimum "valid" configuration is supposed to be 5000 customer with 300 initial trade days and a scale factor of 500. An example to build this would be: dbt5-pgsql-build-db -c 5000 -s 500 -w 300 Although not verified, through testing there appeared to be a significantly higher number of invalid and warning results when using a database scaled smaller than this.. While it is possible to use the programs provided and have the kit build something to the small size of: dbt5-pgsql-build-db -c 1000 -s 500 -w 1 This may result is a high level of failed transactions.
