Guys/Gals, Here are a couple of scripts (very rough probably - but hey, I'm proud of them). The first is a pretty standard view - it limits the query time range to a specific window of 12am to 5am (because that is the period I most interested in usually) 1. http://codepaste.net/2a9o83 The second script is a Pipelined function I wrote to use the above view but enabled to pass in a specific start time and end time interval. This interval needs to encompass your AWR snapshot intervals. So if your snapshot interval is one hour, then the start datetime/end datetime will need to be at least an hour apart. 2. http://codepaste.net/pdcfo5 I thought these might be useful to someone besides me. (Caveat: The hints I used in the SQL may or may not be useful but seemed to give a bit of better performance overall though I didn't actually test whether that was true).
