A new version of the DVD Store database test has been posted to linux.dell.com/dvdstore. This version contains a simple, trigger-based inventory replenish mechanism in both the SQL Server and Oracle implementations to keep the percentage of items in stock at the same level throughout a test, thus keeping the rollback rate constant.

Additionally, we have added many features for SQL Server 2005 including 4 new indexes, 4 new statistics, and new code/instructions for creating a 3-tiered application with ASP.NET.

Finally, since many users are now using the large (100GB) version we have added more build scripts, etc. for this version.

Here's a complete list of changes:

ds2xdriver.cs: Changed "target_hostname" to "windows_perf_host" for clarity; modified description in code and in ds2driver_doc.txt

Oracle: Modified PURCHASE stored procedure in oracleds2_create_sp.sql to keep rollback rate constant Added extra try/catch statement to dspurchase.jsp
