Procedure

  • Select two Database Analyzer date folders of the same database or of different databases.
  • Open the context menu (with a right mouse click) and choose the metric folder which contains the Database Analyzer project that you have executed and stored for later reuse.
  • Apply this metric folder to the chosen arguments/folders.

    Database Studio now opens the analysis result of every Metric Template in the Metric Template folder for the selected date folders.

  • You may want to see more than one chart at once. Follow these steps to split the screen for displaying multiple charts:
    1. In the editor part press CTRL + M. This will maximize the currently active editor section. It is also possible to click on the maximize-icon in upper right corner of the editor.
    2. Drag down the tab belonging to the other database or date until you see an arrow pointing down. Then release the mouse button. This splits the editor area into two horizontal sections.
    3. Drag the other tabs down next to the first one. In the upper part all tables/charts of one date or database will be displayed and in the lower part the tables/charts of the other date or database.
    4. It is possible to switch between table and chart view. Click on the corresponding tab at the bottom of the editor to activate the chart or table view.
  • To restore the previous view:
    1. Click on the restore-icon in upper right corner of the editor.
  • To apply the same time interval to one or more of the other currently opened tables:
    1. Place the mouse pointer over the display area containing the appropriate time interval.
    2. From there, open the context menu and choose the command Select timespan in [<table-name>].
    3. Repeat these steps for every table which shall display the same time interval.
    4. If you wish to better compare the values of the certain metrics, mark the two date folders and choose the context menu command Merge via Metric Template. From the directory of Metric Templates choose the specific Metric Template that you wish to apply on both dates in one chart.
