Hi,

Yes it's normal to have a new set of tables/procedures/functions etc for each metrics package.  Typically you would store each in a separate database/schema.

After you create a package, you can either use Metric Studio to create your metric types/metrics etc, and/or you can use Metrics Designer, and/or you can populate text files with the relevant data and import, and/or you could write the relevant entries direct to the staging tables using an ETL tool and then transfer to the live tables.

Regards,

MF.
