Database protocols overview
VuGen creates database Vuser scripts by recording all the activity between a client and a database server.
Suppose that you have a database of customer information that is accessed by customer service personnel located throughout the country. You use database Vusers to emulate the database server servicing many requests for information.
A database Vuser can:
- Connect to the server
- Submit an SQL query
- Retrieve and process the information
- Disconnect from the server
Supported protocols
The following database protocols are supported:
- Oracle Two-Tier
- ODBC
The resulting script contains LRD functions that describe the database activity.
