not. If any of the instances is not running then run startup.sql script.
select name,open_mode from V$database;
2. Database Listener is running or not.

Run listener status on terminal and verify weather database listener is running or not.
If it is not running then run listener start to run the listener. Follow the
listener_troubleshooting document for more details.

Run block_session.sql to verify is there any session blocking another session if yes
then kills the session and follows the doc “How to Kill Session”

statistics. Follow the Statpack document to create the statpack report.
10. Check the SQL query consuming lot of resources

Need to Run the stats pack report or problematic_sql_query.sql to verify query
consuming lot of resource then find the explain plan of this particular query & compare it
with previous plan. Follow the Sql Tuning troubleshooting Document.

1. Oracle Database instance is running or not

select name,open_mode from V$database;

2. Database Listener is running or not.

3. Check any session blocking the other session

select * from V$lock

4. Check the alert log for in error

select * from DBA_JOBS

6. Check the Top session using more Physical I/O

7. Check the number of log switch per hour

select substr(first_time,1,5) day,

8. How Much redo generated per hour

9. Run the statpack report

10. Check the SQL query consuming lot of resources

Break on User_Name On Disk_Reads on Buffer_Gets on Rows_Processed

11. Check the usage of SGA

select 100-round(a.bytes/b.sm*100,2) pctused from

12. Detect Lock Objects

13. Display database sessions using rollback segments

col RBS format a5 trunc

SELECT r.name "RBS", s.sid, s.serial#, s.username "USER", t.status,

14. State of all the DB Block Buffer

set serverout on size 1000000

1. Check the Table fragmented

select table_name, round((blocks*8),2) tablesize,

2. Check the Chaining & Migrated Rows

select table_name, round((blocks*8),2) tablesize,

4. Check for Block corruption

— Read from v$backup_corruption

— Read from v$copy_corruption

5. Check the tables without PK

6. Check the tables having no Indexes

7. Check the tables having more Indexes

8. Check the tables having FK but there is no Index

9. Check the objects having the more extents

SELECT sysdate,segment_name table_name , COUNT(*) extents

11. Check the free space at O/s Level

ANALYZE TABLE owner.table ESTIMATE STATISTICS;

Thus, the tables' HWM = (query result 1) - (query result 2) - 1

14. Check the objects reaching to it’s Max extents

select sysdate,owner "Owner",

15. Check free Space in the tablespace

16. Check invalid objects of the database

select sysdate,owner,object_name,object_type,status from dba_objects

17. Check open cursor not reaching to the max limit

select max(a.value) as highest_open_cur, p.value as max_open_cur

18. Check locks not reaching to the max lock

19. Check free quota limited available of each user

select * from dba_ts_quotas;

20. Check I/O of each data file

select v$datafile.name "File_Name", v$filestat.phyrds "Reads",

1. Check is there any dead lock was occurred

select sum(b.a) "DB SIZE IN GB" from (select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 a

SELECT sysdate, SUBSTR (df.NAME, 1, 40) file_name, df.bytes / 1024 /

5. Check default tablespace & temporary tablespace of each user

select username,default_tablespace,temporary_tablespace,PROFILE from

6. Check the Indexes which is not used yet

set pages 999;
