Mike, My suggestion was silly, I agree. But it forces management to come up with a better question.
"How's the database running?" is as silly a question as you asking your child "How you feeling today?". Both answers are a flat "fine". I would suggest you have a dialogue to ask what kind of information are they looking for? You already received a few decent ideas - # of log switches a day - a relative indicator of update usage; # hours per day/week/month database is available suck data from STATSPACK and put it into Excel showing disk/tablespace i/o etc. You mentioned that you were "already in trouble" - not sure what you meant by this, but start a discussion with your boss to figure out what he is looking for. Find a way to "get out of trouble" :) hope this helps Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 1:30 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L LOL!
