Even after a couple of conversations we're not quite sure what they mean by "performance metrics", and I'm sure they aren't quite sure what they mean, either. ;) We could give them Statspack report output, but that probably would be too much information. If anyone out there has any ideas on what kind of (very) high-level Oracle database metrics might be appropriate, it would be very helpful.
