Looking at the Dictionary Cache
- Source: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/oracle2/chapter/ch10.html
- The dictionary cache miss ratio should ideally be less than 1%, although when the database is first started, the miss ratio will be higher because each dictionary item loaded into memory will record a miss. If the miss ratio is greater than 2% and you have spare memory, increase your SHARED_POOL_SIZE. If the ratio has decreased, you should have improved your performance.

Finding Foreign Key Relationships
- Source: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/oracle2/chapter/ch10.html
- second query lists all of the foreign keys that do not have the appropriate indexes in place on the child table. It shows the foreign key constraints that cause locking problems.

Listing Columns with Inconsistent Data Types or Lengths
- Source: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/oracle2/chapter/ch10.html
- The following query lists all columns that have differing lengths or data types but that have the same column name. For example, ACCOUNT_NO may be NUMBER(9) in one table and VARCHAR(9) in another. Having different data types can cause data casting problems and result in indexes not being used.
SELECT owner, column_name , table_name||' '||data_type||'('|| DECODE(data_type, 'NUMBER', data_precision, data_length)||')' "Characteristics" FROM all_tab_columns WHERE (column_name, owner) IN (SELECT column_name, owner FROM all_tab_columns GROUP BY column_name, owner HAVING MIN(DECODE(data_type, 'NUMBER', data_precision, data_length)) < MAX(DECODE(data_type, 'NUMBER', data_precision, data_length)) ) AND owner NOT IN ('SYS', 'SYSTEM')- e.g. RAC Extermal

Listing Invalid Objects
- Source: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/oracle2/chapter/ch10.html
- Having invalid objects in your database usually indicates that your underlying tables have been altered to add a new column or have had DDL operations performed on them. The most common objects that become invalid are views, packages, and procedures. Invalid packages and procedures can cause a long response delay because they have to be recompiled. The user is forced to wait for the recompilation to complete. If you do alter your tables, you should always recompile your invalid packages and procedures to avoid user frustration.
SELECT owner, object_type, object_name, status FROM all_objects WHERE status = 'INVALID' ORDER BY owner, object_type, object_name
- e.g. RAC Extermal
OWNER OBJECT_TYPE OBJECT_NAME STATUS -------------- -------------- ----------------------- --------- SAKAI_EXTERNAL VIEW UCDSAKAI_CLASS_SCHEDULE INVALID SAKAI_EXTERNAL VIEW UCDSAKAI_COURSE INVALID SAKAI_EXTERNAL VIEW UCDSAKAI_COURSE_INFO INVALID
Checking the Number of Objects

- This listing provides you with a list of the number of objects on a per-user basis. It can be run regularly to make sure that your database is operating as you expect it to.
