A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium is provided for replaying captured workload data in a database environment with connection pools. A replay system includes a dispatcher that manages a connection pool. In one aspect, the dispatcher selects available connections for sending database commands that are ready to be executed against a database, but prevents from being sent, or holds, commands that are not ready to be executed against the database. Commands may be stored at the dispatcher until the database advances to a state that allows the commands to be executed. In another aspect, the dispatcher may use an available connection to send a command to a database instance even though the command is not ready to be executed, as long as at least a threshold number or percentage of connections remains available.

Transactionally consistent database replay in an environment with connection pooling

A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for preserving data dependency during replay of database commands without strictly preserving a global ordering of the database commands is provided. A capture process captures a workload of database commands executed by a production system. The captured workload includes object identifiers that identify database objects that were referenced directly or indirectly during execution of the database commands by the production system. The captured workload also includes an indication of whether the database objects were potentially read or written during execution of the commands. The workload is processed to determine that an object accessed during execution of a command was previously modified during execution of one or more other commands. A replay process on a test database system prevents the command from being replayed until after the one or more other commands have been replayed to modify the object.
