OLTP-Bench: An Extensible Testbed for Benchmarking Relational Databases

Summary: OLTP-Bench is an extensible, batteries-included OLTP testbed spanning major DBMSs and DBaaS platforms. It uniquely enables controlled, time-varying transaction mixes, rates, and access distributions across 15 synthetic, benchmark-derived, and real-world workloads.
