Oracle DBA

        1. How many memory layers are in the shared pool?
  2. How do you find out from the RMAN catalog if a particular archive log has been backed-up?
  3. How can you tell how much space is left on a given file system and how much space each of the file system's subdirectories take-up?
  4. Define the SGA and:
  ? How you would configure SGA for a mid-sized OLTP environment?
  ? What is involved in tuning the SGA?
  5. What is the cache hit ratio, what impact does it have on performance of an Oracle database and what is involved in tuning it?
  6. Other than making use of the statspack utility, what would you check when you are monitoring or running a health check on an Oracle 8i or 9i database?
  7. How do you tell what your machine name is and what is its IP address?
  8. How would you go about verifying the network name that the local_listener is currently using?
  9. You have 4 instances running on the same UNIX box. How can you determine which shared memory and semaphores are associated with which instance?

  11. What is the recommended interval at which to run statspack snapshots, and why?
  12. What spfile/init.ora file parameter exists to force the CBO to make the execution path of a given statement use an index, even if the index scan may appear to be calculated as more costly?
  13. Assuming today is Monday, how would you use the DBMS_JOB package to schedule the execution of a given procedure owned by SCOTT to start Wednesday at 9AM and to run subsequently every other day at 2AM.
  14. How would you edit your CRONTAB to schedule the running of /test/test.sh to run every other day at 2PM?
  15. What do the 9i dbms_standard.sql_txt() and dbms_standard.sql_text() procedures do?

  25. What query tells you how much space a tablespace named "test" is taking up, and how much space is remaining?
  26. Database is hung. Old and new user connections alike hang on impact. What do you do? Your SYS SQLPLUS session IS able to connect.
  27. Database crashes. Corruption is found scattered among the file system neither of your doing nor of Oracle's. What database recovery options are available? Database is in archive log mode.

  29. How do you increase the OS limitation for open files (LINUX and/or Solaris)?
  30. Provide an example of a shell script which logs into SQLPLUS as SYS, determines the current date, changes the date format to include minutes & seconds, issues a drop table command, displays the date again, and finally exits.
  31. Explain how you would restore a database using RMAN to Point in Time?
  32. How does Oracle guarantee data integrity of data changes?
  33. Which environment variables are absolutely critical in order to run the OUI?

  35. Why does Oracle not permit the use of PCTUSED with indexes?
  36. What would you use to improve performance on an insert statement that places millions of rows into that table?
  37. What would you do with an "in-doubt" distributed transaction?
  38. What are the commands you'd issue to show the explain plan for "select * from dual"?
  39. In what script is "snap$" created? In what script is the "scott/tiger" schema created?
  40. If you're unsure in which script a sys or system-owned object is created, but you know it's in a script from a specific directory, what UNIX command from that directory structure can you run to find your answer?
  41. How would you configure your networking files to connect to a database by the name of DSS which resides in domain icallinc.com?
  42. You create a private database link and upon connection, fails with: ORA-2085: connects to. What is the problem? How would you go about resolving this error?
  43. I have my backup RMAN script called "backup_rman.sh". I am on the target database. My catalog username/password is rman/rman. My catalog db is called rman. How would you run this shell script from the O/S such that it would run as a background process?
  44. Explain the concept of the DUAL table.
  45. What are the ways tablespaces can be managed and how do they differ?
  46. From the database level, how can you tell under which time zone a database is operating?
  47. What's the benefit of "dbms_stats" over "analyze"?
  48. Typically, where is the conventional directory structure chosen for Oracle binaries to reside?
  49. You have found corruption in a tablespace that contains static tables that are part of a database that is in NOARCHIVE log mode. How would you restore the tablespace without losing new data in the other tablespaces?
  50. How do you recover a datafile that has not been physically been backed up since its creation and has been deleted. Provide syntax example.
 
从一个“普通”的Oracle DBAOracle数据库管理员)转变为Oracle Applications DBAOracle应用程序数据库管理员),有两个内容你必须去弄清楚。第一个内容是如何成为一个Oracle Applications DBAOracle应用程序数据库管理员)。第二个内容是你要搞清楚Oracle应用程序背后的架构体系,也就是说你要明白诸如以下产品的结构体系:Oracle电子商务套件、Oracle 11i数据库、Siebel产品等。 本文首先讲述如何从一个普通的Oracle DBA转变为一个Oracle Applications DBAOracle应用程序数据库管理员),接着讲述一些Oracle应用软件架构方面的内容 。 如何成为Oracle应用程序数据库管理员 首先是角色的转变 Oracle Applications DBAOracle应用程序数据库管理员)对“普通”的Oracle DBAOracle数据库管理员)来说是一个很大的挑战。拿Oracle EBS DBAOracle 电子商务套件DBA)来说,不仅需要了解EBS的各个组件、服务,而且还要更主动和其他相关人员接触。 一个Oracle Applications DBAOracle应用程序数据库管理员)不仅需要和其他DBA一样去负责managing、 sizing、maintaining和 tuning database这些日常的数据库管理的工作,如果他的Apps database是OLTP系统的话,他还需要监察wait和lock 。Oracle E-Business Suite还有一些特性需要DBA去完成,比如从外部资源里灌数据到Apps database里,或支持开发人员从已有数据中提取数据。 接着工作内容的转变 作为一个Oracle Applications DBAOracle应用程序数据库管理员),要想更好的对Oracle Application database做支持,需要仔细记住以下几项。 1.网络上没有什么比较容易简单的文档让你去熟悉Apps DBA,所以我建议去看帮助。 2.在你没有经过多次测试并且得到客户认可的时候不要去打补丁,并且你要确信这个补丁解决了现有的问题,而且没有带来其它新的问题。 3.记住Oracle Applications会有很多索引,定期rebuild index会对性能有好处,当然做这项工作应该在系统的空闲时间。 4.不要为了提高性能而在没有询问oracle Support前试着去增加额外的indexes。如果你一定要去做,那千万记住要有文档作记录,因为在这之后你再打patch的时候它可能会把你做的修改自动复原。 5. 知道怎么样是正确的打patch,先计划打哪个patch,然后取得patch,接着打patch,测试,最后文档记录。 6. 要知道任何时刻数据库都可能会有一些object 是invalid的,你的一些操作也会增加invalid objects,定期检查这些invalid objects的数量,然后定期用utlrp去重新编译,utlrp.squ在ORACLE HOME的rdbms/admin下,需要用SYS运行。在你的DB运行过程中如果碰到错误,就可以先重新编译invalid objects,如果没有解决问题再去递交iTAR(Internet created Technical Assistance Request). 7.能看懂日志。 8.了解Apps database的环境,包括操作系统和DB的,当你对你的工作环境了如指掌后,一切也就变得容易了,那时,你就是一个悠闲的Apps DBA了。 另外,对于APPS DB(应用程序数据库)来说,你可能需要创建或拷贝(克隆)多个生产库以外的数据库,比如测试和开发数据库,当然,需要多少数据库是由你的商业需求所决定的。开发环境数据库是供开发人员进行report,PL/SQL等开发的,这个环境可以在开发人员觉得数据已经不再满足开发需求的时候,当然也可以在这个环境测试补丁(patches)。当然最终使用patch的时候还需要在测试环境做测试,因为测试数据库是和生产数据库环境最接近的。(上面说的克隆cloning是一种将applications layer和database layer完全复制的一种方法。)所以,当你拥有这三个数据库的时候,打patch的步骤是先development database再test database最后才在production database环境应用。 构架应用体系 如果你研究过Oracle Forms,使用过Application Server和Devel
