HammerDB: what does 'Number of Warehouses' mean?

538 views Asked by At

In HammerDB in schema building there is an option named 'Number of Warehouses'. But the meaning of this term is unclear. I mean I know what 'warehouse' IS, but I don't understand what it MEANS in context of DB creation.

Could anyone explain this term with simple words, please? Don't get me wrong))

It's value to meassure performance of a database. It's used for the TPC-C benchmark test. One Warehouse is a Warehouse with 100.000 items, 10 sales districts and each district serves 3,000 customers.
