This is a followup on  my  earlier post of SQL Server test data generation testing tools.

I had some requests for my set up process notes for TPC-H . Includes : Installation , Import Data, Generate Queries 

 Installation

 Install SQL Server

Download the TPCH   install files from http://www.tpc.org

Install MinGW  . A GCC compiler  , which  includes MSYS – which are some development tools

Follow these instructions http://gibson.tagus.ist.utl.pt/mediawiki/index.php/MinGW_setup

 Once you’ve compiled the dbgen.exe and qgen.exe Follow the instructions below.

Generate Test Data

In command line and in the folder containing dbgen.exe, write the following:

dbgen –s 1

This will generate 1GB of data, separated in 8 .tbl files, one for each of the TPC-H tables.

 Import Data

For each tbl file, create a format file to explain how it should be read. This is done with the following command (here, for instance, for the table SUPPLIER):

Note: in the bcp commands , if you’d prefer Windows Authentication use -T

bcp TPCD.dbo.SUPPLIER format nul -f SUPPLIER.fmt -S -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.REGION format nul -f REGION.fmt -S -UsSa -Psa247perftest
bcp TPCD.dbo.PART format nul -f PART.fmt -S -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.NATION format nul -f NATION.fmt - -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.PARTSUPP format nul -f PARTSUPP.fmt -S -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.CUSTOMER format nul -f CUSTOMER.fmt -S -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.ORDERS format nul -f ORDERS.fmt -S -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.LINEITEM format nul -f LINEITEM.fmt -S -U -P

 You will then be prompted by the command line to give the details of the format file. All file storage types of the fields must be given as "char", all prefix-lengths should be 0, the field lengths are automatically recognised correctly and the field terminator must be "|", except for the last field (the comment one) where it is "|\n".

• Now use the command line to load the data into each one of the tables. For example, for table SUPPLIER. Complete this step from the :

bcp TPCD.dbo.SUPPLIER in supplier.tbl -f SUPPLIER.fmt -S -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.REGION in region.tbl -f REGION.fmt -S -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.PART in part.tbl -f PART.fmt -S -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.NATION in nation.tbl -f NATION.fmt -S -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.PARTSUPP in partsupp.tbl -f PARTSUPP.fmt -S -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.CUSTOMER in customer.tbl -f CUSTOMER.fmt -S -Usa - Psa247perftest
bcp TPCD.dbo.ORDERS in orders.tbl -f ORDERS.fmt -S -U -P
bcp TPCD.dbo.LINEITEM in lineitem.tbl -f LINEITEM.fmt -S -U -P

 Generate Queries

 The qgen tool creates the queries . But if you’re lazy – and would rather not go through the sometimes convoluted process , I’ve added the queries , for SQL Server version. The queries are generated by  taking a sql template that comes with TPCH and adjusts fo SQL Server.
