mysql run multiple selects on the same table at the same time We have 25 queries, which are simple select statements, that we need to run concurrently on the same table, to test load.

How do I run multiple select statements at the exact same time?
I have tried a bash script, but it runs the selects in order, and not at the same time
The workload needs to open sessions in parallel, instead of executing all queries serially from one bash script.

There is a MySQL tool aimed at just this, please see mysqlslap.
