    Load testing sqlexpress

    Does anyone know of a way I can load test an installation of sqlexpress 2005 ?

    I have a number of installs out there and am having issues with express. It seems to be getting stuck in the middle of a transaction and jamming up causing complete failure of my application.

    Its an unusual problem.
    The db only throws this problem up after a while. Its as if its building up crap

    Any techniques or tools would be much appreciated.

    Thanks All

    Try to Install

    Visual Studio Service Pack 1 (SP1)

    Before that install vs Sp1

    Install VS Preparation Tool

    It will Remove un wanted Patch HOTFix files.

    Then Install SQLEXPRESS 2005/2008

    It's not getting stuck during install...

    It's getting stuck in a transaction - while users are accessing the database - right?

    Can you get onto the network while this "hanging" is occuring?

    Open a query window - EXEC SP_WHO or EXEC SP_WHO2 - this will tell you who is deadlocking the database.
