Are you using Oratcl or some other means to provide your SQL interface? I am working on a project that sounds exactly like yours. What I ended up doing was taking the results of the mib walk tcl command, using puts to write it out to a flat file, then SQL*Loader it into the database. From that point, I use a PL/SQL procedure to compute deltas (most of my performance measures come in as COUNTER32s), time intervals (based on delta time the PDU was returned during successive polling intervals), then compute an average (delta/interval).
I would be interested to see what approaches you've taken to scale this up to a large number of network elements and a large number of MIB variables.
I've posted this to the list but if anyone feels it's off topic for scotty we can do it via private e-mail.
