# @(#)README 10.3 (Sleepycat) 8/21/97 ex_access.c Using just the DB access methods. ex_appinit.c Setting up the DB environment. ex_btrec.c Using the BTREE access method with record numbers. ex_lock.c Locking. ex_mpool.c Shared memory buffer pools. ex_tpcb.c TPC/B. Ex_tpcb sets up a framework in which to run a TPC/B test. Database initialization (the -i flag) and running the benchmark (-n flag) must take place separately (i.e., first create the database, then run 1 or more copies of the benchmark). Furthermore, when running more than one TPCB process, it is necessary to run the deadlock detector (db_deadlock), since it is possible for concurrent tpcb processes to deadlock. For performance measurement, it will also be beneficial to run the db_checkpoint process as well. ex_trans.c -- NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
