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.
