For example imagine that you have many small databases (eg. small internet shops), you could use DAC for upgading process etc. Firstly, thanks for very interesting posts about the DAC.As for the use of the DAC without UCP, I think that DAC could be used for smaller databases.

Don’t spend your “*way* more than minimum wage” all at once!

I've never seen anyone's monitoring system come close to Spotlight's speed on monitoring - unless you're absolutely hammering your system, testing it continuously, in which case the overhead is usually too high. Best of luck, and if you decide the work involved is too high, let me know. We're definitely not "charging a fortune" - especially compared to building your own tool. Building your own tool is only free if your time isn't valuable. ;-) I dunno about you, but I make *way* more than minimum wage. Good luck though!
