Hello Abdul, I also think you could start Bristlecone under Windows since it is Java based (but never tested it). On the page I sent to you, there's a link for downloading bristlecone. Just scroll down and you'll find a section "downloads", or use this one: https://forge.continuent.org/frs/?group_id=22 regards....GERD....

I used Mercury LoadRunner but it is not freeware. The link http://bristlecone.continuent.org/HomePage only has details about this software but not the download link. Secondly it is for Unix not for Windows. And I found AppLoader freeware but it does not include PostgreSQL in its database list. My research is ongoiung and will prompt you as I get something fruitful and expecting the same from you. > > Regards, > Abdul Rehman. > > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Richard Huxton <dev@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: Abdul Rahman <abr_ora@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; ashishka@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 2:13:27 PM > Subject: Re: Download link for 'Bristlecone' > > Abdul Rahman wrote: >> Dear All, >> >> I searched a lot but failed to find any download link for Bristlecone.
