That's a cool video - can't you do the same thing with Database Control (or Grid Control)?

Like Cary said, profiling is the way to go. Profile the database see if there are issues at the machine (io,cpu) application - locks, invalid SQL database configuration - cache sizes, storage settings, log file sizing SQL - slow ore high resource The easiest way I know to see this is with DB Optimizer at Embarcadero. Check it out at http://sites.google.com/site/embtdbo/ There is a free 14 day dowload on the above URL as well as some videos showing how to profile and tune a database. One video that isn't linked on the above URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtjYRSJ48fk which shows a case of log file IO issues, first identifying the problem then fixing it. The methodology is based on Oracle wait events which are the keys to to profiling the database and identifying issues.
