Yes, I should be able to get summary growth rate for legacy ( mainframe ). I think it is in files - ( IMS something like that; pretty much sure it is not rel database ). It should not matter, all I look for is % growth. My requirement is to estimate table growth % - which tables will grow the most, so real challenge is to break expected growth to table level. I expect to do it by utilizing application knowledge. This is long shot, I know, but I gotta give client some figure. rm On 8/26/05, Jared Still <jkstill@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 8/26/05, Ranko Mosic <ranko.mosic@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I am using fully loaded system ( data migrated from legacy ) as baseline. > > > > > Do you have growth metrics for the legacy system? > > If so, load the legacy data into the new system. > > Compare the amount of storage needed to house this data > in the legacy system to the amount needed in the new system. > > Take the rate of growth from the legacy system and apply > to the new system. > > That's about the best shot you have at it. > > > -- > Jared Still > Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist > > -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
