In this directory are the queries and raw data files used to populate the
12
Postgres version of the Wisconsin benchmark. In order to run the benchmark,
13
you'll initially need to execute the script
17
which will populate the "bench" database, create the indices, and vacuum the
18
database. This will take from 10 minutes or so on a Sparc II/DECstation 5000
19
class machine to an hour on a Sun 3.

Once create.sh completes, you can execute the benchmark by running the
26
into an output file. This output file may be quite large (300K or so)
27
so make sure you have sufficient disk space. Once the benchmark run has
28
completed, query execution times can be obtained by running the
32
script on the output file. It will generate a nicely formatted, numbered
33
set of output with times for each query indicated. (Note that each query
