Oracle Scripts
Stand Alone Oracle Tuning scripts: The following are two scripts that provide insight into the current level of performance in an oracle database. The great advantage of these scripts is that no objects are created in the SYS or SYSTEM schemas. All calculations are done through inline views and anonymous blocks of PL/SQL.
Short Version Long Version
Oracle Hot Backup Script: This script performs online Oracle hot backups and is usually run as a cronjob. The script runs under the Bourne shell and will function properly in any/all UNIX systems (Tested on SUN/HP/AIX/LINUX). The script is very simple yet comprehensive. Actions taken are:
  • switch archive log
  • for each tablespace
    • start backup mode
    • compress or copy datafiles
    • end backup mode
  • switch archive log
  • copy controlfiles
  • create ASCII text controlfile
  • copy init.ora for the database from $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
  • copy all *.ora from $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

While backups are done to disk, the original incarnations used tar to dump to tape. Since much of the complexity of backup scripts is due to tape handling requirements new disk hardware has made it feasible to dump databases to a single large disk or array and let the operating system or the backup software deal with tape handling complexity. Extremely useful for mirroring or silvering large arrays.
