If you have the code in a workable configuration, you can test it easily with a SQL query job using SLAMD (http://slamd2.dev.java.net). This generate load that may point to indexing problems and other performance-related problems.

Here's a Friday discussion.

As an application developer, I can write SQL pretty well, but I wouldn't say
that I'm an expert.  My last project I did run into some design and
architecture issues that needed a little bit of reworking and
refactoring.  To help avoid this, I want to get better and have more
confidence moving forward in a project that my schema design has been
optimized, or at least perform some excercise to let me know that I gave it
a good effort.

Any insights on how as application developers, we can perform some exercise
with some tool at the early design phases that will help us give us
confidence that our initial schema, indexes and queries are optimized?
