Abstract
A system and process for evaluating the performance of an operational database system without interfering with the normal operation of the operational database system is described. The process involves the creation of a test database which contains the system catalogs of the operational database system as user tables. The test database is used to compile queries using these simulated system catalogs. The access plan generated by the compilation in the test database can then be used to evaluate the performance of the queries.
