Hi The 1200MB, 1400MB throughput is constant, this is a real time DWH. In fact my snaps to v$sysmetric shows this data. Also DBA_HIST_SYSMETRIC_HISTORY suppose to show data per minute which is even better the snaps I programmed (every 5 minutes) But anyway anyone has access to a production db with decent load and can query this data for me :-? Will be great Thanks!
