Hello,
I was recently tasked with comparing the performance difference between full SQL and SQL Express, so I'm requesting some advice on how to do that. For this project I'll be comparing multiple different hardware configurations. Not choosing what's better, mostly just documenting the performance differences.
Here's my request - where can I get a large amount of random data, and what commands can I run on that data so that the tests will take about 15 - 20 minutes on an "average" machine?
Any advice is also greatly appreciated, thank you.
