database monitoring

Hi Brian,

Its a yes for first two of your questions. It would be great if query execution time could be   monitored for a particular query.
By buffer gets I ment the use of internal data buffer cache in memory to avoid frequent disk access.
There are some monitoring tools our DBA use to keep an eye on DB health n performance. Our application, like all the major business applications, is highly database driven and we want it to perform even better over cloud sql. So I was wishing for some kinda monetoring and performance enhancing tool for cloud sql as well.
