SQL Server DB-Library connection (obsolete)

The SQL Server DB-Library connection is available in the 32-bit version of Benchmark Factory. Before using this connection type, please review the following considerations.

Clean data buffer and procedure caches at start of each test iteration

Select this option to instruct Benchmark Factory to clear cached data between iterations. Cached data can improve performance, so selecting this option can prevent cached data from affecting subsequent iterations.

Notes:

  • This option is only applicable to SQL Server 2005 or later.
  • To perform this action, the SQL Server database account must have the sysadmin fixed server role.
