[ECODP-dev] Dataset usage statistics

Yes I don't think that this should be a problem.

 Apart from that I have question regarding report (see attached file): ****

The publisher name is only fetched for datasets where the recent view count
is > 0, which seems like an oversight on our part.

Yes, since the database was created.

The command does not currently query for public/private status (as the
person running it must be a sysadmin anyway).

 I cross-checked the stats with the results of "the most viewed" dataset.

Yes, there is a bug in the current query (see ODP-291 on Jira) that is
incorrectly filtering using the date that the tracking data for each
dataset was updated. In effect, I think that you are only seeing datasets
that were actually viewed in the previous day (as opposed to the highest
view count up to the previous day, regardless of when it was last viewed).

John
