RE: Management Reports

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

LOL! But I'm already in the doghouse, so I don't think they'd see it as funny!

select 1999, 'even more to do' from dual;
select 2000, 'pooooh ....' from dual;
select 2001, 'at full speed' from dual;
select 2002, 'increase the DBAs salary from dual';


my boss was delighted about it
