Today I found a blog entry by Tanel Poder, he has also discovered the way of visual performance analysis without expensive tools. He describes that it’s better to show a graph to non-DBA people than a bunch of statspack numbers. Not only that, a human brain can interpret much more numbers by looking at a graph than at a table full of numbers.
