Hello Sean, Would you mind sending me your evaluation? I'm in the process of performing a tool evaluation also, and this material would be invaluable.

RE: Monitoring Tool Evaluation methodology
What versions of Oracle are you using? I am proposing de-installing PATROL at our work place (It is the same one I took pride in installing and supporting a few years ago). Got tired of : The "next release" will support all the new features (LMTs, partitioning etc). But all these are currently in use, and so databases using those are taken out PATROL's care ! - Kirti -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2002 1:54 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L eGurkha ? Why don't companies do more DD before naming products ? The Gurkhas were special forces in the British Army, trained to DESTROY and DEMOLISH ! So, is this an electronic version of it (eGurkha) ? Not likely to score points with the Brits for installing this on their systems eh ? Toyota made a similar blunder with their MR2 in Spain, France and Portugal (pronounce the letters MR2 in any of these languages, and it sounds like Toyota Merda , yes ?).

I just came back from an engagement where BMC PAtrol was installed on a W2K server, and it consumed 900 MB of REAL memory to give a bunch of mostly meaningless information (but oh so impressive), not a pretty picture. Another thing to do is when the vendor explains all the wonderful features of what it is supposed to do, make sure you have a large shovel nearby.

The Gurkha regiment still exists and is highly respected in the UK. The Gurkha regiment is renowned for its toughness, loyalty and tenacity.
