Thomas said: "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". My two year old would respond with "don't know !!", could be a manager in the making or maybe a NT admin :-)
But I had also wondered what the already in trouble was, get a clear dialogue going as to what is his pain so you can resolve it. And if you don't think you can resolve it polish the resume because whatever you do you may well find yourself bundled out of there sooner or later anyway.

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!
