Hi!
It's common in a datawarehouse system (like UDD can be considered) to keep track
of the update jobs times: start, end, duration, records elaborated and so on.

This will allow to query such information to generate a report ob jobs
executions like: durations (mean, stddev, etc), growth, performance, eventual
tuning due to interaction with other scripts, and so no.

Such information, are usually stored in a different (internal) schema than the
main one, but I think we can just add a table in 'udd' (maybe prefixed with
'udd_' to claryfy it's a UDD interal information table) for such information.

Thanks,
Sandro
