1. Hey Tim –

   How are you doing? Long time. Hope all is well with you and family!

   Glad to see your new site… miss the scripts I “borrow” from the site and looking forward to seeing them again! I am looking for the top 10 queries script you used to have for 11gr2. O’well dealing with a company with 2 node RAC with constant Cluster Reconfiguration… and yikes things take longer all the time so looking to identify and start tuning the top queries. Looking forward to your RMOUG 2013 presentations.

   Regards,
   Ravi

   • Ravi, Good to hear from you! Sorry my papers and scripts are off-line at the moment — I’m just doing a million things at once right now, including learning more about WordPress. I’ll try have the papers and scripts posted in a media-gallery widget over the next 2 weeks.
     More soon…

4. Hi,
   Very informative and helpful scripts you have posted here.
   I am looking for trigger referred in a post (http://www.evdbt.com/trclvl12.ddl) which is helpful to find the column name in case of ora-01438, but not able to find it. Can you please share it.
   looking forward to hear from you soon.

   • Sorry for breaking the link; I switched over from my old HTML-based website to the present one powered by WordPress back in November, and I’m slowly getting the new website re-constituted with all the stuff that was on the old. You should find the TRCLVL12 script available for download on this page now.

     Thanks!!!

5. Perhaps it is too much to ask, but would be nice to have the scripts in one zip file 🙂

7. Hi Ravi,

   Good collection of scripts !!! I have not gone through all but few of them. Wants to know do you have any script or data for statistics ? or else if you can guide me about what is the optimal way to look for statistics then good for me.

   Thanks, Sonia

   • Sonia,
     There is my bare-bones “cbo_stats.sql” script posted here, but if you want the complete picture on statistics used by and relevant for a specific SQL statement, look toward SQLT by Carlos Sierra of Oracle and available for download from http://support.oracle.com.
     Hope this helps…

8. Hi Tim,

   Thanks for your reply. From your reply I try to find on metalink but did not find “cbo_Stat.sql” in their search tool. can you guide me with link?

   Thanks again.

   • Sonia,

     “cbo_stats.sql” is my script, available on this page. SQLT (or SQLTXPLAIN) is a package available from Oracle Support on their website.

     Sorry for the confusion…

11. Hi Tim,

    How are you ?
    Hope you are doing well.

    To be very frank, I was really not aware of who is “Tim Gorman” until I was assigned on a task to find out all the oracle instances running on our company network. So when I have done some troubleshooting, I came to know about you and your contributions for oracle community. we all oracle users will be always thankful to you for all of your contributions.

    Now without stretching it much, straight forward coming to the point. Can you please explain the logic you have used in your famous scripts tnsprobe.sh and oraprobe.sh to find out running oracle instance on network.

    Or it would be great if you can upload those scripts here. 🙂

    Regards,
    Anurag

13. Hi!

    Could you please add the sphistory.sql script? In the comments of sqlhistory.sql the script is mentioned.
    The AWR script has been really useful for me!

14. Thank you SO MUCH for your SQLHistory script! I was looking for exactly this! You have saved me hours of combing through dba_hist tables or, yikes!, trying to write this myself.

15. I loved your scripts when I started as DBA 6 years back.
    I miss your scripts section but i found a way to see the memories and get the old scripts
