Title: Computing resource consumption

Raj,   A pretty common (and actually pretty accurate) chargeback unit is the LIO. You can get this information by using the standard AUDIT CONNECT feature, and using the LREAD value as your basis. If you wanted to get fancy, you might also charge by the parse call (which you’re already collecting in your V$SESSTAT query). The reason I’d focus on these two metrics is because these are the two operations on an Oracle system that absolutely prevent the system from scaling.   You could count physical I/Os as well, but that would be redundant if you’re already catching LIO call counts.   Cary Millsap Hotsos Enterprises, Ltd. http://www.hotsos.com Upcoming events: - Hotsos Clinic 101 in Denver, Sydney - Hotsos Symposium 2004 March 7–10 Dallas - Visit www.hotsos.com for schedule details... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jamadagni, Rajendra Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 12:04 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Computing resource consumption   Does anyone know any papers or techniques to compute resource consumption by users in a DB systems? This may or may not be for computing charge-back to the client, but my questions are 1. What do you compute? 2. are there any standard methods and or standard formula? I am collecting v$sesstat when a session exits, but is data alone from session stats sufficient? How about the work done by background processes on user's behalf? Do you do anything like this at your workplace? This is something that might be coming down the line, so I have been asked to start looking for related stuff.
