In order to test a client server application, you need to know the following parameters:
1) First of all, you need to know the number of users who work on the application on an average.
2) you also need to know the peak load i.e. how many users at the max?
3) Bandwidth of the network connection.
4) Which action is most frequently done by the users.

etc.

All these parameters can be used to emulate the real scenario in run-time settings/controller.

Various scenarios can also be created in Controller to emulate the real-time scenarios.

You've to verify the type of DB connection are you making to the DB.  It might be using ODBC or JDBC which translates to the type of protocol used.  Also, other than DB type of protocols, you may also verify if it is using COM/DCOM or RMI-Java.  Anyway, fundamentally know what coommunication between the client and server first.
