Monitor Data Loads using SQL Developer Gauges

    How many times have you sat running select count(*) queries to see how your database loads are progressing.

    Using SQL Developer you can put this in a Database Chart called a Gauge and set this to refresh as often as the drop down allows.

    The chart on this page is just the query

    select count(*) "ICE_CONTACTLOG"
    from ice_contactlog

    Then I set the Max value in the Gauge Details to the expected size when fully loaded



    Then I can just leave this running in a corner of the screen to monitor Load Progress.
