RE: AWR Usage Poll

Good one :)  

I'm quite interested in poll results... When I asked how many people had Diagnostics and Tuning pack licensed during my presentation at Hotsos Symposium this year, about half the people in the room raised their hands.  

This came as quite a surprise to me, as in my experience only a small minority of Oracle sites have had these packs licensed and in use. Of course, Hotsos Symposium being a performance conference probably has somewhat different attendee profile than usual "general-purpose" conferences...

Subject: AWR Usage Poll

I am curious about the acceptance and usage of AWR (Active Workload Repository)

This has been around a few years now, and I see some bits of conversations where the assumption is made that AWR is available when troubleshooting a problem.

Such is not always the case however, as AWR is a separately licensed product.

Don't forget, ASH (Active Session History) is also part of AWR, and subject to the same licensing restrictions.

Which brings me to the poll.

http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/352785

This should take a couple of minutes at the most, as there are only 10 multiple choice questions. There is room for a written response to many of the questions as well, should you feel the need to embellish.

This poll is open until 8/31/2008. It is set to a maximum of 500 responses, which is probably sufficient.

Thanks!
