Re: Script to compute random page cost - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

I was attempting to measure random page cost a while ago -
I used three programs in this archive :

http://techdocs.postgresql.org/markir/download/benchtool/

It writes a single big file and seems to give more realistic 
measurements  ( like 6 for a Solaris scsi system and 10 for a Linux ide 
one...)

Have a look and see if you can cannibalize it for your program


Cheers
