EXEC SQL SELECT ROUND(VALUE/((SYSDATE-STARTUP_TIME)*1440),1) INTO :tp FROM V$SYSSTAT, V$INSTANCE WHERE NAME='user commits'; Dick Goulet Senior Oracle DBA Oracle Certified 8i DBA -----Original Message----- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 10:29 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I've been asked to provide value for the Transactions Per Minute going through our primary OLTP production database. I believe I can use deltas in SCN values to measure "transactions" which do INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE and then COMMIT; Is there any way to measure/count the number of SELECTs which occur? If so, how?
