<bridgehead class="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml:h2"> Introduction</bridgehead>
<para><ulink url="OpenLink">OpenLink</ulink> ODBC Bench is an open-source ODBC Benchmarking tool providing real-time comparative benchmarking for ODBC Drivers, Database Engines, and Operating Systems combinations.
 The Benchmarks in this application are loosely based on the TPC-A and TPC-C standard benchmarks, with modifications to specifically test the performance of an ODBC Driver and/or Database Engine in a client/server environment.
 The benchmark results can be automatically stored to an ODBC Datasource or XML file for further analysis and comparisons to be made.</para>
