Andrew, AWR reports delta values, not cumulative statistics.

 

It reports the delta values from the columns of dba_hist_sqlstat like
buffer_gets_delta.

 

Here is a part of an sql run by a 10.2 awrrpt.sql

 

...

sum(disk_reads_delta) dskr, sum(executions_delta) exec,

 

                      sum(cpu_time_delta) cput, sum(elapsed_time_delta)
elap

...

from dba_hist_sqlstat

                  where dbid

      = :dbid

                    and instance_number = :inst_num

 

          and :bid            < snap_id

                    and snap_id

   <= :eid

               group by sql_id)

And then, you have to do it again for AWR.  AWR does report cumulative
statistics.

Yasin and Allen,

You are right: My bad. STATSPACK indeed does report the differences.
This myth of mine was self-created, probably from early days of
STATSPACK. Thank you for setting me right. This reminds me once more 
to re-validate everything I know.

Regards,
