Oracle 9i database monitoring scripts

Question

Hi Friends,
I am asked by my boss to submit weekly reports about the database status.
She wanted something in excel format.
Can you suggest me what reports do I submit?
I found the following monitoring scripts from google:
Are these scripts still relevant ,or applicable, or obsolete?
PURPOSE
This article contains a few ready-made queries on V$SQLAREA
for identifying the top 10 most resource-consuming SQL statements
with a variety of criteria.
The thresholds used are the same as used by default in Statspack:
Buffer Gets : 10,000
Physical Reads : 1,000
Executions : 100
Parse Calls : 1,000
Sharable Memory : 1,048576
Version Count : 20
Top 10 by Buffer Gets:
set linesize 100
set pagesize 100
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT substr(sql_text,1,40) sql,
        buffer_gets, executions, buffer_gets/executions "Gets/Exec",
        hash_value,address
   FROM V$SQLAREA
  WHERE buffer_gets > 10000
ORDER BY buffer_gets DESC)
WHERE rownum <= 10
Rem Top 10 by Physical Reads:
set linesize 100
set pagesize 100
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT substr(sql_text,1,40) sql,
        disk_reads, executions, disk_reads/executions "Reads/Exec",
        hash_value,address
   FROM V$SQLAREA
  WHERE disk_reads > 1000
ORDER BY disk_reads DESC)
WHERE rownum <= 10
Rem Top 10 by Executions:
set linesize 100
set pagesize 100
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT substr(sql_text,1,40) sql,
        executions, rows_processed, rows_processed/executions "Rows/Exec",
        hash_value,address
   FROM V$SQLAREA
  WHERE executions > 100
ORDER BY executions DESC)
WHERE rownum <= 10
Rem Top 10 by Parse Calls:
set linesize 100
set pagesize 100
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT substr(sql_text,1,40) sql,
        parse_calls, executions, hash_value,address
   FROM V$SQLAREA
  WHERE parse_calls > 1000
ORDER BY parse_calls DESC)
WHERE rownum <= 10
Top 10 by Sharable Memory:
set linesize 100
set pagesize 100
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT substr(sql_text,1,40) sql,
        sharable_mem, executions, hash_value,address
   FROM V$SQLAREA
  WHERE sharable_mem > 1048576
ORDER BY sharable_mem DESC)
WHERE rownum <= 10
Top 10 by Version Count:
set linesize 100
set pagesize 100
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT substr(sql_text,1,40) sql,
        version_count, executions, hash_value,address
   FROM V$SQLAREA
  WHERE version_count > 20
ORDER BY version_count DESC)
WHERE rownum <= 10
;I just feel the above reports not really meaningful :(
Can you give me some other scripts that u have?
Thanks a lot,
MsK

Oracle 9i comes with Oracle Enterprise Manager. This includes a reporting website with monitoring scripts.
Why write them yourself?My boss want a cumulative report over time, for example : what happened @ 1am,2am,3am on tuesday last week, why is the server so slow that the batch job did not complete as expected? Why was an error occured about a table that can not extend? Ora 1635. I mean you can see in the report that at this certain hour a certain tablespace was full.
oops maybe tablespace sample is not logical :D
say every day I can have excel reports of tablespace space status like:
tablespace_name   used     free     date
TS_DATA          1000K   5000k  1-Oct-2010
TS_DATA          2000K   4000k  2-Oct-2010
TS_DATA          3000K   3000k  3-Oct-2010
TS_DATA          4000K   2000k  4-Oct-2010
TS_DATA          5000K   1000k  5-Oct-2010
TS_DATA          5000K      0k  6-Oct-2010Does Statspack can hold historical data for analysis? say for the last 24 hrs?
Thanks a lot
