    Free Oracle Performance Utility. By Stewart McGlaughlin, Oracle DBA.
    OraSnap (Oracle Snapshot) contains all the SQL scripts that most of us already have in our arsenal. The "twist" is the way the information is presented. All of the statistics are generated with HTML tags - which can then be viewed with a web browser. Each report has the source code used for the information and notes with relevant information about the statistics gathered. OraSnap currently has over 110 scripts that generate a multitude of information for v7.3 and newer databases.
