Sorry, I don't think I made myself clear. I don't want to query the DB every few seconds to get its current status. I want to keep an open an open connection and have immediate access to all information like I have when I set the debug level high and see everything going on inside the DB right on my machine.
I guess think of it as a dashboard that constantly displays the db status. Something like 'top' rather than 'ps -ef|grep .....'. As far as I understand, JDBC is just a mechanism to connect to a db, execute queries, etc., not get this kind of info.
