Claim:
A method comprising: recording, by a computer system, a first set of baseline sizes for a plurality of database objects, wherein the first set of baseline sizes are recorded prior to the execution of a first application upgrade; recording, by the computer system, a first set of upgraded sizes for the plurality of database objects, wherein the first set of upgraded sizes are recorded subsequent to the execution of the first application upgrade; recording, by a computer system, a second set of baseline sizes for the plurality of database objects, wherein the second set of baseline sizes are recorded prior to the execution of a second application upgrade; recording, by the computer system, a second set of upgraded sizes for the plurality of database objects, wherein the second set of upgraded sizes are recorded subsequent to the execution of the second application upgrade; determining, by the computer system, a first set of growth values for the plurality of database objects based on the first set of baseline sizes and the first set of upgraded sizes; determining, by the computer system, a second set of growth values for the plurality of database objects based on the second set of baseline sizes and the second set of upgraded sizes; and generating, by the computer system, a report indicating differences between the first set of growth values and the second set of growth values.
