Today Martin Berg (an ex-Premium Services guy, who's now in Oracle Consulting, and who invented the absolutely brilliant concept of throw-away of rows) and I had a looong meeting where we came up with the YODA concept.

It stands for Yapp Overview Diagnostics Analysis. Not pretty, perhaps, but Martin and I can remember it.

Here's the deal (and it's of course inspired by Cary, who's a reasonably smart guy for a Texan):

R = S + W (roughtly, thanks to Erland and Kolk)

This can be measured on three levels:

System level. Data taken from v$system_event & v$sysstat.
Job/session level. Data taken from v$session_event, v$sesstat - and/or 10046.
SQL level. Data taken from 10046.

So 1 = O, 2 = D and 3 = A.

You can perhaps say something in general - get an overview - using 1 (system level). But basically bstat/estat, statspack, MirMon and all that are useless for most practical purposes. So O = Overview.

You can certainly find out who's doing what and for how long using 2
(session/job level). So D = Diagnostics.

And you can find out what's wrong using 3. So A = Analysis.

We called it YAPP/ODA. Jonathan Lewis, who's been drinking my whisky for the last three days here in Maaloev, suggested YODA instead. Very good.

We also came up with some (I think) new stuff about batchjobs (or OLBP - OnLine Batch Processing), and how to monitor and control them, but I'll let you know when we're done with the whitepaper we decided on the spot to write.

Rock'n'roll.

Mogens
