Abstract

Quantifying the impact of wasteful operations on a database system is provided. One or more operations that are determined to be wasteful are received. The impact of the wasteful operations on performance in a database may then be quantified. The database is monitored to determine when a wasteful operation is being performed. When a wasteful operation is detected, a time value is recorded of the time spent on processing the wasteful operation. The time value is stored and used to quantify an impact of a performance problem in a database. The time value may be stored and associated with other time values that are recorded for the same wasteful operation. Thus, the impact of wasteful operations that are performed and processed in a database may be determined.
