Thanks for the prompt response!
Using the CSV dataset looks quite simple to do.
Now, if I define multiple users (threads), will that mean that each user
will use the same set of data? So the set of requests from different users
will be coming from a single CSV dataset? Is there any way or possibility
for different users to use different CSV files? We want each request to be
unique, i.e. to target a different row in the database every time.
Thanks for the suggestion to use the counter, but I am not sure if it is
suitable to use, since the values of the variables are not sequential, and
there is no guarantee that a certain value exists in the database.
We are thinking to extract values randomly from the database (of up to 50
million rows), get rid of the no hits, and put them into the CSV dataset(s).
Thanks and regards,
Val
