About Database Performance Benchmarking...
Existing DB-Benchmarks:
- TPC-C for OLTP benchmarks.
- TPC-R & TPC-H (formerly TPC-DS) for data warehouse & decision support systems.
- TPC-W benchmark for Web-based systems.

Guidelines
A database performance benchmark hast to consider following different aspects:
- Cold and warm start (beware that in case of warm start chaching will take place!).
- Equality and Range Queries.
- Query-Result Sets, which respond with one tupel or which respond more than half of the tupels in the dataset.
- Single User versus Multi-user.
Software (Scritps) for benchmark automation:
- PostgreSQL hstore Benchmark - Benchmarking in Python by Michel Ott, 2011.
- pgbench - Benchmark tool for PostgreSQL.
