Teresita,
You've gotten some good comments...even a quick tutorial on backups. My
recommendation to you (especially if you don't have any backups at all) is
that until you're more familiar with the tools you have that you should
initially avoid the complexities of incremental backups and
...it's analysis time.
There are fancier forecasting methods like exponential smoothing and so on
but the simple approach might get you started. But you need to keep testing
results to see if your situation has changed. The above would be a fairly
simple spreadsheet.

|Hi everyone
Don't know if this has been mentioned or if it does enough of what you're
looking for but you can pick up something called RDA (remote diagnostic
agent) from Oracle that'll give you an overview of OS setup, Network,
performance (very high level), and RDBMS info. And the result is web-a-fied

No argument but I report to the applications side instead of the technical

Maybe it is just so they can continue to say they're not a database company

I can relate to this. I have two sons and both have told me that based on what

The only things that would make sense to me is if two of these scripts were
