In light of the ASH licensing thread today, I think we need to ask whether the stopwatch is included or is an additional licensing option.

That's funny at a minimum and absolutely absurd at the other. How do you account for the delay time on the stopwatch button caused by theperson holding the stopwatch? -----Original Message-----A brief look at the tuning section Progress OpenEdge RDBMS manual reveals that it also sports a sort of wait event interface, making it competitive with Oracle. I had to read it several times, because I thought "stopwatch" was an OpenEdge technical term. I was wrong. From the Database Essentials manual: http://www.psdn.com/library/servlet/KbServlet/download/1906-102-2517/gsdbe.pdf Collecting your baseline statistics Once you have determined what items you want to benchmark, you can plan your strategy. You can modify the application code to collect this data, which is the most accurate method, but it is also time consuming and costly. An easier way to perform data collection is to time the operations on a stopwatch. This is fairly accurate and easy to implement. To determine the best timing baseline for each task, perform timing in isolation while nothing is running on the system. When timing baselines have been established, repeat the task during hours of operation to establish your under-load baselines.
