Documenting Oracle Databases Complete Oracle database schema auditing

Authors:Mike Ault
Pages:102
Publisher:Unknow
ISBN13:9780974071664
Description:
Many times the Oracle DBA is hired once the database becomes to much to handle without one, inherits the position or is appointed to it “since they are so good with computers”. In any case, they usually get an undocumented system that follows no conventions and holds many traps for the unwary DBA.
In other situations the DBA may find they have the task of recreating the database for which they are responsible. If export and import can be used, this task is fairly easy to accomplish, however, sometimes the DBA will be required to provide DDL (Data Definition Language) for this purpose. The DBA may also wish to document existing procedures, views, constraints and such other structures as they see fit, with human readable output and a minimum of re-editing.
