Blog Aggregator - Amardeep Sidhu

This will be my last blog of 2005. I have been blogging on DBAZine for over a year now. I thought I would take one blog to quickly review where we have been and where we’ll be going in 2006.

I intend to broaden our range of discussion topics in the upcoming year. But I also intend to dedicate numerous blogs to previously discussed topics including data warehouse administration, 10G Enterprise Manager and Oracle database 10G R2.

This is a weird combination of topics. We are currently installing and configuring the latest and greatest release of Oracle’s enterprise-wide monitoring and administration toolset, 10G Grid Control R2. I am very excited about the new features and functionality that this new release provides. Before we get into the nitty-gritty details about the release’s new feature set, I thought I would take one blog to discuss some of the features we are interested in.

The other topic is a quick announcement to let you know that I am Oracle’s newest Ace. A title that I am very proud to have.

I have always thought that a graphical display utility that compared performance statistics would be a worthwhile tool. You could compare the statistics captured from two sets of timelines and quickly identify the differences.

10G Grid Control provides a comparison utility that allows administrators to compare two sets of ADDM snapshots. Although it provides a very simple comparison at this time, it is certainly a step in the right direction. This blog will show you how to select the timelines and perform the comparison.
