Overview

This PR creates a new database/ sub-dir inside of examples where database related files can be stored. Currently this only supports PostgreSQL. Ideally in the future we can have support for Mongo, MySQL, Redis, etc.

Changes

  • examples/database/README.md
    • This will store instructions on how to run the load test on various databases
  • examples/database/postgres_test.py
    • This is the file where the PostgreSQL Client was created

How well does this handle concurrent queries? For locust-plugins we use psycogreen.gevent.patch_psycopg() to make psycopg greenlet-capable: https://github.com/SvenskaSpel/locust-plugins/blob/master/locust_plugins/listeners/timescale.py

(its not a locust User but is used to write requests and other test log data to a database)

Scratch that, I can see that psycopg3 has built in support for gevent! Awesome!

Can you split this into two files? One that contains a base PostgresUser marked with abstract = True and a separate one (the actual locustfile, maybe called postgres_ex.py) that imports PostgresUser from that file?

Also, maybe you can read connection settings from class variables of the final User class defined in the actual locustfile? Another option is to just use the standard postgres env vars (PGHOST, PGUSER etc)

@cyberw I broke these files out and nested them inside of their own database/postgresql/ directory. Let me know if you have any questions or preferences on how to proceed. Thanks.

I dont think you need the whole __getattr__ song and dance :)

Just define the execute_query method directly on the PostgresClient class.

Does this create a new connection on each query? That sounds very wasteful. Probably you wanna do that only when the client object is created.

I dont think we should print the exception :)

I think this method is too small to make sense! The code is easier to understand if you just call .connect directly.

Good call, it looks a lot cleaner calling the psycopg.connect directly

psycopg3 can do connection.execute(), no need to have the intermediate step of creating a cursor.

remove the wait_time stuff and just leave it as the default, to simplify the example.

You can skip the taskset and put the tasks directly under the user too.

Real close now, just a few last simplifications.
