Database Testing with JDBC
Load-test the database directly and pull live test data from it. Learn JMeter JDBC Connection Configuration and JDBC Request samplers to query and benchmark databases.
Why Test the Database Directly?
Sometimes the bottleneck is the database, not the web tier. JMeter can connect to a DB with JDBC to benchmark queries and to pull real data for parameterization.
JDBC Connection Configuration
Add a JDBC Connection Configuration element to define the database URL, driver, and credentials, plus a variable name the requests reference.
