http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/Bdadotnetarch081.asp There are many tools that ship with the SQL Server Resource Kit that can help you with testing your database. One of those tools, Database Hammer, is a load simulator and allows you to test your SQL Server with various loads. The Resource Kit also includes a tool for loading sample data into your system for the purpose of testing, called the Database Generator, or DBGen. To obtain either of these tools, or for more information, see the SQL Server 2000 Resource Kit.
