The document presents an analysis of AWR (Automatic Workload Repository) reports and trends, emphasizing their utility in monitoring database performance through snapshots that capture various metrics over time. It discusses the limitations of single data points ('dots') in understanding performance trends and explores methods for visualizing and interpreting statistical data to uncover insights about historical database behavior. Additionally, the author, Maris Elsins, provides a methodology for extracting and calculating deltas from AWR data to inform performance analysis.
