Description

countActiveConns

This script returns the number of active connections to the database.

countRows

This script returns the number of rows in each of the tables in the database.

dbSize

This script return the space occupied by the tables in the database.

calculation scripts. The 

v_months_in_history

 parameter in the Oracle scripts and the 

@MONTHS_IN_HISTORY

parameter in the SQL Server scripts is set to 6 months by default. You can change this in the scripts to the

desired number of months.
