Introduction

The OSDL Database Test 2 (DBT-2) workload test kit provides an on-line transaction processing (OLTP) workload using an open source database and a set of defined transactions. This document gives an overview of the DBT-2 test kit.

The DBT-2 test kit is a derivative of a benchmark specification released by the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC). The TPC Benchmark(TM) C (TPC-C) is briefly described before the DBT-2 test kit is discussed.
