The TPC-H generator is a standard code base provided at
http://www.tpc.org/tpch/. We have been able to compile this code on
Linux.
However, we were unable to get the Microsoft modifications to this code
to compile on Linux (although they are supposed to be portable). So, we
just used the Windows version with wine on our test Debian machine.
I have also posted the text files for the TPC-H 1G 1Z data set at:
http://people.ok.ubc.ca/rlawrenc/tpch1g1z.zip
Note that you need to trim the extra characters at the end of the lines
for PostgreSQL to read them properly.
Since the data takes a while to generate and load, we can also provide a
compressed version of the PostgreSQL data directory of the databases
with the data already loaded.
