I suppose this depends on the stats that you are trying to collect - If it
is just growth reports on data, this could probably be easily achieved with
a single script and table. Run the script or schedule it once every X-n
(X-integer, n-timespan), and populate your table with the data returned. If
there are only a few metrics you would like to keep track of this would save
you the cost of a tool.

If you are looking at getting full performance stats such as throughput,
performance, growth etc. (Things like hit ratios per day on buffer_cache,
DD_cache, user details (how many, what were they doing, what resources have
they taken up), monitoring SQL) - in general the whole shabang - and want to
go back to a point in time to review those stats then maybe you could look
at Precise SQL - as this has historical stores and a fairly low footprint -
but be prepared to pay the bucks!!

Then there are the mid tier tools such as the ones we supply (NORAD), that
have a repository store. We don't store to a database as yet - but to files,
which can be exported to Excel or a similar reporting tool.

What kind of things do you actually want to collect? Is it just
performance/growth stats - or do you want to store info on changes in the
database etc.?

Hi All,

I am looking for an application or software which helps me doing my job as a
DBA. I want to set up a what we call a metadatabase, which gets and holds
data about the databases I administer as a DBA. I want to keep data in the
metadatabase as for example the growth of data in a database for which I as
DBA am responsible. I think OEM can help, but is doesnot keep track of the
history. Any ideas?

TIA,
Arie Koster.
