TPC-DS (2012)

Similar to the Star Schema Benchmark (SSB), TPC-DS is based on TPC-H, but it took the opposite route, i.e. it expanded the number of joins needed by storing the data in a complex snowflake schema (24 instead of 8 tables). The data distribution is skewed (e.g. normal and Poisson distributions). It includes 99 reporting and ad-hoc queries with random substitutions.

References

First, checkout the TPC-DS repository and compile the data generator:

git clone https://github.com/gregrahn/tpcds-kit.git
cd tpcds-kit/tools
make

Then, generate the data. Parameter -scale specifies the scale factor.

./dsdgen -scale 1

Then, generate the queries (use the same scale factor):

./dsqgen -DIRECTORY ../query_templates/ -INPUT ../query_templates/templates.lst  -SCALE 1 # generates 99 queries in out/query_0.sql

Now create tables in ClickHouse. You can either use the original table definitions in tools/tpcds.sql or "tuned" table definitions with properly defined primary key indexes and LowCardinality-type column types where it makes sense.

Danger

TPC-DS makes heavy use of correlated subqueries which are at the time of writing (September 2024) not supported by ClickHouse (issue #6697). As a result, many of above benchmark queries will fail with errors.
