Hey Charlie, I made a DBMS_JOB here that runs this procedure every 5 minutes:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE QT_TX_MONITOR AS -- 06/17/2001 REJesse Created. v_value NUMBER; BEGIN SELECT SUM(VALUE) INTO v_value FROM V$SYSSTAT WHERE NAME IN ('user commits','user rollbacks'); INSERT INTO QT_TRANSACTION_LOG (TX_COUNT, TIMESTAMP) VALUES (v_value, SYSDATE); COMMIT; END QT_TX_MONITOR; Then, to see the "TPM" for a given time period, &1 to &2: SELECT TIMESTAMP, TPM FROM ( SELECT TO_CHAR(TIMESTAMP,'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI') TIMESTAMP, TO_CHAR(TX_COUNT - LAG(TX_COUNT) OVER (ORDER BY TIMESTAMP)) TPM FROM QT_TRANSACTION_LOG WHERE TIMESTAMP >= TO_DATE('&1','MM/DD/YYYY:HH24:MI') AND TIMESTAMP <= TO_DATE('&2','MM/DD/YYYY:HH24:MI') ) WHERE TPM IS NOT NULL ORDER BY 1; I use this output to feed into GNUPlot to see the "TPM" as well as see if a dev over COMMITs in a batch procedure. The latter shows up as prominent spikes in the pretty graph. Don't know if this'll help, but maybe it's a place to start. GL!

I believe I can use deltas in SCN values to measure "transactions" which do INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE and then COMMIT; Is there any way to measure/count the number of SELECTs which occur? If so, how? How would you derive a value for TPM for your DB? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Jesse, Rich INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
