A more comprehensive solution would be statspack.
A simpler solution would be to get the sum of wait time (not counting the idle ones) . it could provide you with some measure of database performance... You need to arrive at a baseline wait time as being normal for your database and any deviation from that could mean some change in performance... Babu "Terrian, Tom (Contractor) To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (DAASC)" cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Database tracking a.mil> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/15/2003 12:53 PM Please respond to ORACLE-L All, I would like to track the performance of my production databases by running the same SQL statement against each database every 5 minutes or so and recording the results. For example: sql> set timing on; sql> select count(*) from dba_tables; That was I would know if they are getting faster or slower over time. As anyone already done this? Would there be a good SQL statement to use?
