Database stress tester

Hello

Are there any database stress testing tools like database hammer bundled with any editions of 2005?

Or is there a resource kit somewhere that has one?

Thanks

The original DBHammer tool works with SQL 2005, I've used it several times on it, have you tried it?

Thanks for the replies

I had heard of the database hammer, but I have never used it. I will try it as, as soon as I can find a copy of it somewhere! Is it available to download?

Database size limit

SQL Server 2005 Express has a limit of 4 GB for database size, while the
other editions do not have a limit. See the complete feature comparison
chart here:

Yes, Express has some artificial limits. If that weren't the case, then no-one would pay for the
product.
