Measures reported by MySqlRecCntTest

In an effort to track the growth of individual databases, administrators may want to time and again check how many rows of data each table in a database contains. In the process, they will be able to identify those tables with more than a permissible number of records. Based on this finding, they can then decide whether deletion of a few or more unnecessary records from these ‘large tables’ can keep database growth under check. This test helps administrators in this exercise.

This test automatically discovers those tables in a given database that contain more than a configured number of records, and reports the number of records fetched from each such table.

The measures made by this test are as follows:
