You are right Deepak, CSV is much easier way to do it. But I do it for exercise and not to solve a specific task. I just wanted to see how it works in Jmeter and you sure did help with your tips. BTW, I defined users and password in the DB just for the sake of the exercise, I would never obviously

just to expand on that. If you setup jmeter for multiple threads then each thread will execute the JDBC request and each thread will loop through all the results. This is probably not what you want. Usually you have say a 100 users and you want say 10 threads to pick up one from this. As before you

I believe you always get an array, even if only 1 thing is returned. If you request more than 1 column from the database you can use a comma separated list of variables. If you haven't tried a simple test to see what it does, I suggest doing so. Just make a test with a JDBC Config data element, a

hi your JDBC request query should be something like select username,passwords from usernamepasswords (you want both returned right) - You should be able to see what this returns in view results tree. You should also be able to check jmeter.log for errors The parameter text boxes are data that you

Ok, I think I am advancing here. I can see that the parameter that is passed on is "null" which is what I have defined if the query doesn't return anything. Is there a possibility that the JDBC connection doesn't work right? Is there a way to see if the Test Plan attempts the query successfully? I

the simple answer is to use a CSV file instead (Im assuming eventually you will want to run your test with multiple threads and this user name will vary per thread). Then you simply use the CSV Data Set config . In the variable name field you specify say username,password (number of variables is s
