Sure Tim.  Thank you for all your great scripts and code.  Just saw
sphistory.sql at http://www.evdbt.com/tools.htm and I'm going to take a look
at that.

I think he occasionally got a :"ORA-04092: cannot COMMIT in a trigger".

Isn't the startup for the same reason?  That is, to collect stats from
startup to when your scheduled snap runs.

        Thanks
        Larry

Larry,
Thanks for the post of Mr Hurley's material.  Especially useful is the use
of AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION pragma, although I've not found it to be
necessary...

I can understand performing a STATSPACK.SNAP before database shutdown, to
"flush" any values to disk before they are lost, but I am at a loss to
understand the reason to perform a STATSPACK.SNAP in an AFTER STARTUP
database-event trigger?
