Thanks Richard and Tom for your suggestions, I already have statement
logging (as the application is still in development phase) in CSV
format. I will create a table of the same structure as this log file
and import the data into the DB, then perform the neccessary queries
on this table. Since I am also capturing the duration per statement I
will use the opportunity to streamline some of my queries and stored
procedures.

Allan.
