Oracle DBA Weekly Procedures Checklist


Oracle DBA Weekly Procedures Checklist:-

A.  Look for objects that break rules

For each object-creation policy (naming convention, storage parameters, etc.) have an automated check to verify that the policy is being followed.

1.   Every object in a given tablespace should have the exact same size for NEXT_EXTENT, which should match the tablespace default for NEXT_EXTENT.  As of 12/14/98, default NEXT_EXTENT for DATAHI is 1 gig (1048576 bytes), DATALO is 500 mb (524288 bytes), and INDEXES is 256 mb (262144 bytes).

a)  To check settings for NEXT_EXTENT, run nextext.sql.

b)  To check existing extents, run existext.sql


2.   All tables should have unique primary keys. 

a)  To check missing PK, run no_pk.sql.

b)  To check disabled PK, run disPK.sql.

c)   All primary key indexes should be unique.  Run nonuPK.sql to check.


3.   All indexes should use INDEXES tablespace.  Run mkrebuild_idx.sql. 

4.   Schemas should look identical between environments, especially test and production.

a)  To check data type consistency, run datatype.sql.

b)  To check other object consistency, run obj_coord.sql.

c)   Better yet, use a tool like Quest Software's Schema Manager.

B.  Look for security policy violations

C.  Look in SQL*Net logs for errors, issues

1.   Client side logs

2.   Server side logs

D.  Archive all Alert Logs to history


E.  Visit home pages of key vendors

1.   Oracle Corporation

2.   Quest Software

Make Scripts Weekly Procedures:-

 


1.   nextext.sql


 nextext.sql

 To find tables that don't match the tablespace default for NEXT extent.
 The implicit rule here is that every table in a given tablespace should
 use the exact same value for NEXT, which should also be the tablespace's
 default value for NEXT.

 This tells us what the setting for NEXT is for these objects today.


SELECT segment_name, segment_type, ds.next_extent as Actual_Next
, dt.tablespace_name,  dt.next_extent as Default_Next
FROM dba_tablespaces dt, dba_segments ds
WHERE dt.tablespace_name = ds.tablespace_name
  AND dt.next_extent !=ds.next_extent
AND ds.owner = UPPER ( '&OWNER' )
ORDER BY tablespace_name, segment_type, segment_name

2.   existext.sql


 existext.sql

 To check existing extents

 This tells us how many of each object's extents differ in size from
 the tablespace's default size. If this report shows a lot of different
sized extents, your free space is likely to become fragmented.  If so,
 this tablespace is a candidate for reorganizing.


SELECT segment_name, segment_type
, count(*) as nr_exts
, sum ( DECODE ( dx.bytes,dt.next_extent,0,1) ) as nr_illsized_exts
, dt.tablespace_name, dt.next_extent as dflt_ext_size
FROM dba_tablespaces dt, dba_extents dx
WHERE dt.tablespace_name = dx.tablespace_name
  AND dx.owner = '&OWNER'
GROUP BY segment_name, segment_type, dt.tablespace_name, dt.next_extent


3.   No_pk.sql


 no_pk.sql

 To find tables without PK constraint


SELECT table_name
FROM all_tables
WHERE owner = '&OWNER'
MINUS
SELECT table_name
FROM all_constraints
WHERE owner = '&&OWNER'
AND constraint_type = 'P'

4.   disPK.sql


 disPK.sql

 To find out which primary keys are disabled


SELECT owner, constraint_name, table_name, status
FROM all_constraints
WHERE owner = '&OWNER' AND status = 'DISABLED’ AND constraint_type = 'P'

5.   nonuPK.sql


  nonuPK.sql
To find tables with nonunique PK indexes.  Requires that PK names
follow a naming convention.  An alternative query follows that
does not have this requirement, but runs more slowly.


SELECT index_name, table_name, uniqueness
FROM all_indexes
WHERE index_name like '&PKNAME%'
  AND owner = '&OWNER' AND uniqueness = 'NONUNIQUE'

SELECT c.constraint_name, i.tablespace_name, i.uniqueness
FROM all_constraints c , all_indexes i
WHERE c.owner = UPPER ( '&OWNER' ) AND i.uniqueness = 'NONUNIQUE'
AND c.constraint_type = 'P' AND i.index_name = c.constraint_name

6.   mkrebuild_idx.sql


 mkrebuild_idx.sql

Rebuild indexes to have correct storage parameters


SELECT 'alter index ' || index_name || ' rebuild '
     , 'tablespace INDEXES storage '
     || ' ( initial 256 K next 256 K pctincrease 0 ) ; '
FROM all_indexes
WHERE ( tablespace_name != 'INDEXES'
        OR next_extent != ( 256 * 1024 )
      )
  AND owner = '&OWNER'
/

7.   datatype.sql


datatype.sql

 To check datatype consistency between two environments



SELECT
   table_name,
   column_name,
   data_type,
   data_length,
   data_precision,
   data_scale,
   nullable
FROM all_tab_columns -- first environment
WHERE owner = '&OWNER'
MINUS
SELECT
   table_name,
   column_name,
   data_type,
   data_length,
   data_precision,
   data_scale,
   nullable
FROM all_tab_columns@&my_db_link  -- second environment
WHERE owner = '&OWNER2'
order by table_name, column_name

8.   obj_coord.sql


obj_coord.sql

To find out any difference in objects between two instances


SELECT object_name, object_type
FROM user_objects
MINUS
SELECT object_name, object_type
FROM user_objects@&my_db_link
