>I think, I want something similar on SQL Server, but I don't know, how to organize it. I also didn't add indexes so far, so I want to test performance first without indexes, then after added indexes. Also my test database has only 5000 recs, but real table would have 400000 recs. Can I still make some performance tests? Would the information be helpful?
