Bala,

Tanel Poder put together an Excel spreadsheet (PerfSheet.xls) that simplifies this kind of effort, where you can just enter your query in one of the tabs and execute it, then the spreadsheet VB code helps build a pivot table and graph on the returned data.

I also believe that you can create a report in SQL Developer which displays the query results as a chart. Or you could check out NetCharts. You can get a trial license to see if it meets your needs.

If you come up with a good solution, be sure to post it!

Thanks Martin .. i know what you said .you are exactly right.

There are few benefits behind this ..

1. You can easily point out where the problem is .
2. You can easily highlight the numbers which is very high and low.
3. Through sql every thing can be achived but ..few people should have a very good idea how to point which is bad or good.
4. My Management needs in graph format for better understanding .

I want to write on my own .. but i have never tried .. i just wanted to know if people give me some basic idea . so that i can learn and customize according to our requirements.

Thank you very much for your time Martin. Can you please glow some light on this .

Regards

Bala

unfortunately I cannot tell you any tool, as I'm pretty sure, your question is wrong. (and I'll try to show, why):

Databases does not have a quality of 'performance'. They have others
like 'datafile size', 'SGA size', 'recoverability' or something like
that. But per se they are either 'fast' nor 'slow' and do not have any

'performance'.
Applications (and derived from them, statements) can have qualities like 'expected response-time', 'expected throughput' or also 'expected Cost ($$$) to maintain'.
Based on these expectations, you can trace or sample the real numbers and compare them to the expectations.
After this is done, you can say anything about 'fast' or 'slow', but not regarding the database (or Instance) but Application or SQL-statement.

Basically I suggest to colelct this timing-information in the application side; if this is not done (no instrumentation) ASH/AWR can help under some circumstances to _collect_ some data, in other cases you have to sue other tools or write your own.

visualisation of these numbers is only the last step and often can be done with excel or some other client-based multi purpose graphing tool.

sorry for not providing an easy answer,
 Martin
