This implementation of the CH-benCHmark was created for the UNIX platform. It uses unixODBC 
and pthreads.
Additionally, it can handle different SQL dialects. 

To add a new dialect:
    - put a new dialect file in the "dialect" directory
    - implement the interface given in "dialect/Dialect.h"
    - see "dialect/HanaDialect.h" as example
    - modify the "DialectStrategy::getInstance()" function in "dialect/DialectStrategy.cpp"


To build it:
    requirements are: 
    - libodbc (included in unixODBC, version 2.3.2 required!)
    - GNU make (version 3.81 recommended)
    - c++11 compiler (gcc 4.7 recommended)
    
    1. Adjust "Makefile" if needed, for example:
    - CC to appropriate c++11 compiler
    - add -L/path/to/libodbc/directory to LDFLAGS

    2. make


To run it:
    1. Make sure all required libraries can be found, for example:
    - export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libodbc/directory

    2. Make sure you can connect to the system under test using unixODBC's "isql":
    - isql yourDataSourceName yourDatabaseUser yourPassword

    3. Create initial database as CSV files:
        chBenchmark
        -csv
        -wh <WAREHOUSE_COUNT>
        -pa <INITIAL_DB_GEN_PATH>

        example: chBenchmark -csv -wh 50 -pa /path/to/any/directory
        
    4. Run test:
        chBenchmark
        -run
        -dsn <DATA_SOURCE_NAME>
        -usr <DBS_USER>
        -pwd <DBS_PASSWORD>
        -a <ANALYTICAL_CLIENTS>
        -t <TRANSACTIONAL_CLIENTS>
        -wd <WARMUP_DURATION_IN_S>
        -td <TEST_DURATION_IN_S>
        -pa <INITIAL_DB_CREATION_PATH>
        -op <OUTPUT_PATH>

        example: chBenchmark -run -dsn yourDataSourceName -usr yourDatabaseUser -pwd yourPassword 
                 -a 5 -t 10 -wd 60 -td 300 -pa /path/to/any/directory -op /path/to/any/directory
