Benchmark workload

I`m looking for programs, that could test response from SQL serve db.
I have DB, but it is operational, and I do not like to make any changes on
that DB. But I will have to test server (SQL) on that hardware.
My be program that makes it own generic DB, that can be use on different
hardware
Two recent blog posts about this.

|||You are asking a very broad question w.r.t. benchmarks. The answer depends on
what exactly you want to accomplish or want to test. Is there a specific
question you'd like the benchmark to answer?
