pgbench is a benchmarking tool for PostgreSQL. Usage: pgbench [OPTION]... [DBNAME] Initialization options: -i, --initialize invokes initialization mode -I, --init-steps=[dtgGvpf]+ (default "dtgvp") run selected initialization steps -F, --fillfactor=NUM set fill factor -n, --no-vacuum do not run VACUUM during initialization -q, --quiet quiet logging (one message each 5 seconds) -s, --scale=NUM scaling factor --foreign-keys create foreign key constraints between tables --index-tablespace=TABLESPACE create indexes in the specified tablespace --partition-method=(range|hash) partition pgbench_accounts with this method (default: range) --partitions=NUM partition pgbench_accounts into NUM parts (default: 0) --tablespace=TABLESPACE create tables in the specified tablespace --unlogged-tables create tables as unlogged tables Options to select what to run: -b, --builtin=NAME[@W] add builtin script NAME weighted at W (default: 1) (use "-b list" to list available scripts) -f, --file=FILENAME[@W] add script FILENAME weighted at W (default: 1) -N, --skip-some-updates skip updates of pgbench_tellers and pgbench_branches (same as "-b simple-update") -S, --select-only perform SELECT-only transactions (same as "-b select-only") Benchmarking options: -c, --client=NUM number of concurrent database clients (default: 1) -C, --connect establish new connection for each transaction -D, --define=VARNAME=VALUE define variable for use by custom script -j, --jobs=NUM number of threads (default: 1) -l, --log write transaction times to log file -L, --latency-limit=NUM count transactions lasting more than NUM ms as late -M, --protocol=simple|extended|prepared protocol for submitting queries (default: simple) -n, --no-vacuum do not run VACUUM before tests -P, --progress=NUM show thread progress report every NUM seconds -r, --report-per-command report latencies, failures, and retries per command -R, --rate=NUM target rate in transactions per second -s, --scale=NUM report this scale factor in output -t, --transactions=NUM number of transactions each client runs (default: 10) -T, --time=NUM duration of benchmark test in seconds -v, --vacuum-all vacuum all four standard tables before tests --aggregate-interval=NUM aggregate data over NUM seconds --failures-detailed report the failures grouped by basic types --log-prefix=PREFIX prefix for transaction time log file (default: "pgbench_log") --max-tries=NUM max number of tries to run transaction (default: 1) --progress-timestamp use Unix epoch timestamps for progress --random-seed=SEED set random seed ("time", "rand", integer) --sampling-rate=NUM fraction of transactions to log (e.g., 0.01 for 1%) --show-script=NAME show builtin script code, then exit --verbose-errors print messages of all errors Common options: -d, --debug print debugging output -h, --host=HOSTNAME database server host or socket directory -p, --port=PORT database server port number -U, --username=USERNAME connect as specified database user -V, --version output version information, then exit -?, --help show this help, then exit Report bugs to .
