For the connection figures I can only say that it's an configuration
setting which you can tune but you have to have enough memory in
your machine to run that much connections.
Not all db's on NT are crash-me safe but there some of. Like oracle
and sybase. If a db is crashing it's by a query we made, mostly it's
one of the queries who is looking for the maximum of some tests.
We tested some of the db's on windows NT because I could
arrange those db's. Everybody is free to run the crash-me script on
every platform on every db. Now all the big names are started to
support Linux I have the possibility to test those db's also on linux
so in the future the list will be a little bigger with figures from a linux
machine. If you would like to see what your limits are with your
configuration you only have to have perl running on one of the
machines in your netwerk and have a DBD perl module for your db.
If you have all that it's easy to run crash-me on your database.
