No, it isn't. Selects aren't replicated nor is the timing true to catch
contention problems. I've done this recently and whilst I don't have
time now I'll post my solution tomorrow. Assuming:
A) Your using *nux
B) Your application(s) and database are hosted on different machines
C) You have root access on one of the boxes
D) You can take a live db snapshot
It will let you record and playback your database server's load.
