Since SharePlex for Oracle and LiveReorg are dependant on redo log volumes, transaction sizes, and things like that we have developed a free utility that parses through the redo logs for some pre-defined amount of time, and let's you know how many operations are on each table, average operations per second, and peak operations per second. It should give you a really good idea where the activity is coming from.

Send me a private email if you want me to get you set up on this, and I can send you the files, and the instructions on how to use it.

p.s. 28GB is good, but we've seen much more... around 100GB is massive, and we've seen maybe 2-3 databases up to 120GB per day.

Just had a thought here, have not tried it yet. I have a database that I am working with that is generating 28 GB of redo each day. I would really like to know what objects are generating all this redo without going through the hassle of mining a bunch of log files. It occurred to me that if table monitoring is active and my stats are up to date I should be able to multiply the total number of updates, inserts and commits by the average row size and get a rough % of what objects are generating the most redo.

I am sure there are a number of other factors I need to consider, any ideas what they are?

The goal is to identify the objects, then identify the jobs that work on those objects and see if I can reduce redo. I suspect a lot of this redo is being generated because of some poor design issues.

Thanks!
